We envision a community and a world where everyone experiences life in a stable climate, has a safe place to live, and can access clean air, clean water, and the resources they need to thrive.
Do you believe that climate change should be addressed through a social and racial justice approach? Do you want to create lasting, systemic change to better serve Multnomah County's residents?

If this sounds like you, we invite you to apply for ACSI!

🦻In May our team hosted a listening session on the draft Climate Justice Plan (CJP). Residents + climate justice partners shared ideas on how the CJP can be made into a tangible countywide effort. To no surprise the way to do this is, drumroll please: Collaboration. 💚

The heat can stop a lot -- not us! We were in Gresham this past weekend to talk about the #MultCo draft Climate Justice Plan, hung out w/event attendees + youth from The Blueprint Foundation and Camp Air Quality.

Coming together like this makes us feel hopeful for climate justice in our community.

What a great time @ the Coalition of Communities of Color Water Justice event! We shared the draft Climate Justice Plan (CJP) w/environmental justice communities + highlighted the water justice + CJP priorities overlap. Clean accessible water *is possible* for living systems + all community members.
