The goal continues to be to uplift the climate resilience and environmental justice priorities of frontline communities and advocate for policies and practices that reduce the adverse impacts of climate change on all San Mateo County residents. We make it a practice to center underrepresented voices, including those that are indigenous, youth, and faith-oriented.
We have over 300 registered participants. Registration closes on Thursday, October 3. Be part of this movement for positive change. Scholarships are available, and we anticipate another sold-out event. We can't wait to see you at the Summit!
