Climate Change Teaching for Our Children's Futures

Climate Change Teaching for Our Children's Futures


On FRIDAY, MARCH 4, a bill to require the teaching of climate change will be on the agenda for a Public Hearing in the Education Committee. The hearing begins at 11 a.m. 
 
This bill would ensure that all our children -- regardless of the wealth and resources of their school district -- would be taught the truth about human behavior and climate change. Environmental justice demands that all students be equipped with knowledge to position them for green new jobs and so they can be part of the solution to a problem previous generations created. 
Please consider adding your voice to those who care about our children's futures. Too often, Public Hearings are dominated by lobbyists with an anti-environmental agenda. We need concerned citizens like you to speak up.
Please forward this notice to your circle of people who care -- most especially young people, the majority of whom consider climate change the greatest threat to their very existence. 
Details: 
THE BILL: HB 5285 AN ACT CONCERNING THE PUBLIC SCHOOL CURRICULUM. Read the bill here: https://www.cga.ct.gov/2022/TOB/H/PDF/2022HB-05285-R00-HB.PDF
EMAIL TO USE: Send written testimony in Word or PDF format to: EDtestimony@cga.ct.gov. (Be sure to include bill number: HB 5285.)

New Report: A Close Look at the Reality of Community Violence Interrupters

Dr. Kathryn Bocanegra and Dr. Shani Buggs, eminent researchers and experts on the work of community violence intervention, have published, together with LISC, Supporting the Frontline Through Community Healing: Advancing Science on Violence Intervention Outreach and Trauma Exposure. The study, focused on safety efforts in Kansas City, MO, is a deeply researched and compassionate look at the trauma CVI workers confront every day and how to support the field so that practitioners “are protected from the same harms they work to prevent.”

“A Gateway for Possibilities”: Resident Leadership and Community Ownership

LISC's Institute for Community Power has published a new Spotlight examining three leadership development programs designed and implemented by LISC and local partners for distinct communities in different parts of the country: Training the Trainers (T4T) in Houston; the Newark Resident Leadership Academy (NRLA); and Community Connectors in Philadelphia. Each group has leveraged the leadership program to inform and strengthen their work and, in turn, to serve their communities more effectively.

Mobile Home Residents in Washington State Are Calling the Shots After Buying Their Park

Manufactured housing, which 20 million Americans call home, is one of the few affordable housing options in the United States.

As a result, they have been able to stabilize their housing costs, upgrade their communities and remain in the places they love.
