On Saturday April 4^th, I participated in an amazing and eye-opening climate change planning workshop for Northern Manhattan.  The room was packed from wall-to-wall with over 65 diverse community members from West Harlem, Washington Heights, and Inwood, many of whom were my fellow WE ACT members, and all of whom were gathered with one goal: to help Northern Manhattan’s low-income and working class residents prepare for the climate crisis.

We know that due to global warming we are already seeing more frequent ‘extreme weather emergencies’ and we can expect that those conditions will get worse over the coming years.  We know that in the NYC area we will see summer heat waves intensify and winter storms become more severe, with greater risk of flooding due to rising sea-levels.  The big question posed at this workshops was: what are we going to do about it?
