Senior Program Director, Julio Garcia, and graduates of our Environmental Justice Parent Academy are interviewed in this KQED story about sea level rise in East Palo Alto. “If we didn’t have COVID-19, [climate change] is the number one crisis that we are facing,” Garcia says. “As a community of color, people who are workers, it is really important. Because if houses start flooding, where are we going to be moving to?” Read or listen to this story in English. Read this story in Spanish.

KQED also published two accompanying stories. The first is a map that shows which Bay Area locations are at risk from rising seas, also available in English or Spanish. The second is a set of reflections related to this story from local youth, in English and Spanish.
