Friend, just look outside.
Climate scientists have long warned of the ways rising global temperatures will supercharge our state’s natural weather trends. Left unchecked, catastrophic storms like the ones we’re experiencing now will occur with growing frequency and intensity, punctuated by brutal heatwaves and dry spells.
We can make a difference in the long term by continuing to fight for bold, comprehensive climate action. In the meantime, our friends, families, and fellow Californians are just looking to make it through the storms with lives and livelihoods intact. Below, we’re sharing valuable resources for those impacted by this ongoing emergency.
