John,
We’re excited to have you join us on our "Make It Real" journey, where we highlight stories of communities across the country taking action against climate change. In our past installments, we visited South Dakota’s plains and Detroit’s neighborhoods, seeing firsthand how local efforts can make a real impact.
Now, we’re heading to the Sunshine State, where Dream.Org met with local environmental leaders tackling the state’s unique climate challenges – from rising sea levels to extreme weather. Despite these threats, a strong movement for environmental justice is growing, led by advocates and organizations working toward a more sustainable and equitable future.
In this edition of our "Make It Real" series, we take a closer look at the movement driving change in Florida, showcasing the innovative solutions and determination of those working to protect their communities and create a more sustainable future. You'll meet inspiring individuals like Kim Cox, who is tackling the intersection of climate change and affordable housing in Liberty City. Frustrated by the poor living conditions many low-income families endure—including crumbling infrastructure and inadequate government housing—Kim is working to provide safe, dignified, and sustainable homes.
She’s pushing for solutions that address the rising cost of building materials, the impact of climate change on housing, and the urgent need for better living conditions in her community. These efforts remind us that environmental justice, economic opportunity, and sustainable living aren’t just goals—they can be realities for everyone.
