State-local alignment is going to be critical if we're to make the most out of this moment and build back a stronger, more cohesive, sustainable and resilient society. So thrilled @CitiesCatalyst can play a role in this great initiative with #California communities and @Cal_OPR
Have you heard about the California Resilience Partnership (CRP) yet? CRP is a new model led by @CitiesCatalyst in coordination with @Cal_OPR that aims to advance high-impact #climate #resilience projects in regions across California. šŖ rcc.city/california

This is incredibly disappointing to hear - and incredibly inequitable. The data shows our most vulnerable community members typically have longer working commutes given the large scale housing crisis. Putting the harm on the individual and not on investing in transit is BAD

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg says taxing drivers by the mile āshows a lot of promiseā and could be a way to fund a big infrastructure overhaul.

Millions of Americans woke up this morning in homes now (correctly) mapped to greater flood risk. FEMAās maps were always a cobbled, political mess, @FirstStreetFdn takes a crack at fixing. Great work! nytimes.com/interactive/2020ā¦

Does this mean Amazon is getting rid of the delivery trucks on every corner, every day? No more wasteful boxing and packaging? No more inhumane conditions at warehouses? No more marketing to fossil fuel companies? Because that would be a Climate Plegde! seattletimes.com/sports/hockā¦

Climate catastrophe may not start in your community with a major stormāit could be widespread rejections of loans for homes, or the rapid depreciation whole neighborhoods.
