In Brooklyn, NY, @UPROSE, a CJA member group, is proving that community power can deliver real victories. We’re celebrating the construction kick-off of Sunset Park Solar—New York City’s first-ever community-led solar project—on the rooftop of the Brooklyn Army Terminal.

🌎 Happy Earth Day!
The time to act for climate justice is now. In the midst of climate change denialism and efforts to roll back progress, we can never forget the people power that fuels us.
Future generations, and frontline communities now, are counting on us.
