I was very honored to keynote this FIRST system-wide sustainability summit for the Beth Israel Lahey Health System last week in Boston! Sustainability MUST include environmental justice…and I know BILH will continue to be a leader - building healthy communities one person at a time!

We all have a role in driving environmental justice forward. Thank you @Regina Strong and the Michigan Office of The Environmental Justice Public Advocate for your leadership and another successful annual conference. I enjoyed offering some words of inspiration! Onward!

Excited to head to #NYCClimateWeek! If you are in the area, I'll be joining a diverse set of folks to talk about resilience and offering some thoughts on how we can "build to last" in our climate reality on Tuesday night with a diverse set of folks!

We can no longer wait for someone to save us - we must make a plan to sustain the communities we care about. Philanthropy has a role - to go deeper than just a ‘plan b’ - and plan for contingency. Check out my article in Medium: islandpress.medium.com/philanthropy...

Be empowered!
