This Earth Day, we’re reflecting on the fact that weather-related events displace roughly 30 million people each year [[link removed]] and how, in our own country, communities of color and low-income households are bearing the brunt of the effects of the climate crisis. These communities, for example, are more likely to live in areas with heavy pollution and become ill or die of environmental causes.

Action

The CDC's announcement [[link removed]] that it will end the illegal and inhumane Title 42 policy by May 23 was a hard-fought win to restore the human and legal right to seek asylum at our borders.
But now, lawmakers are attempting to override the CDC and the Biden administration by passing legislation in Congress that would mandate the continuation of Title 42. We can't let this happen.
Take action today: Tell Congress to reject the anti-immigrant Title 42 policy. [[link removed]]

And Updates

From school boards and city councils all the way to Congress, the last several years have underscored the need for elected leaders who understand our experiences, our communities, and our vision for an inclusive democracy.
If you’re ready to step into your power and run for office, we want you to take one of our upcoming trainings in May and June: Ready to Lead: Midwest [[link removed]] and Ready to Lead: Colorado! [[link removed]]
At these trainings, you'll learn how to share your powerful, authentic New American story, fundraise, and organize our communities to get out the vote. But most importantly, you'll join a network of other bold New American leaders who are ready to change the face of leadership and create a democracy that works for and represents all of us.
So what do you say? Will we see you there? Apply for Ready to Lead: Midwest by Monday, April 25th at 11:59 p.m. ET [[link removed]] (that's just a few days away!!) or Ready to Lead: Colorado by Monday, May 9th [[link removed]] (or recommend someone you think would be a good fit)!
