When disasters strike, survivors are often spoken about, but we’re rarely given the tools to shape the narrative ourselves. Join us on Thursday, March 19 at 5pm PT/ 8pm PT to learn how to share your story with impact and intention. Your lived experience is powerful.

If oil companies want to turn this into a β€œbattle” as they refuse to pay their fair share, while survivors sift through the ashes of their homes, then so be it. We’re done being the only ones paying for the damage these corporations have knowingly caused.

The cost of extreme weather is rising across California, leaving too many families uninsured or underinsured and forced to foot the bill on their own. We can’t keep going like thisβ€”and we shouldn’t have to.

The Affordable Insurance & Recovery Act puts the cost of recovery where it belongs.

Can you believe that FEMA is holding on to $17 billion that’s supposed to be in the hands of states? Instead of releasing that money to help us recover after extreme weather disasters, it’s literally just sitting on Kristi Noem’s desk.

Survivors aren’t asking for anything extraordinary β€” we just want a way forward.

The Affordable Insurance & Recovery Act levels the playing field, putting the cost of extreme weather where it belongs, and making sure communities can rebuild without jumping through hoops just to survive.

β€œNothing changes unless we talk about it.” Your story matters, and you can create change that protects communities from more frequent and severe extreme weather.

Art can be a powerful way to feel seen and heard, helping us heal after trauma. Dusty of The Heartwood Revival is doing just that, reclaiming fallen trees to create sculptures along the Guadalupe River that reflect the community’s experience in the aftermath of the July 4 floods.

It’s WAY too cold out, and this level of extreme cold and record snow isn’t normal. Climate change means families and farms like Amber’s have to worry about losing their animals in ways they never had to before.

We’re thinking of everyone impacted by this winter storm β™₯️

Extreme weather survivors are the fastest-growing population in the U.S., and the fact that these statements are true for so many of us, no matter where we live or what type of extreme weather we’ve experienced, is a sign that people are hurting and policies are failing. Survivors deserve better.

Beautiful words of advice from Robin Hughes, President and CEO of the Housing Partnership Network, to the leaders and organizers helping their communities recover after the LA fires β™₯️

Know that you deserve rest, especially during this time when things might feel particularly heavy.
