Description

We will hear from:

- Lauren Balotin from NIHHIS will talk to us about National Heat Safety Week and how you can join a social media campaign to raise awareness.

- Melissa Griffin from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources will talk to us about state-level responses to extreme heat.

- Vaishnavi Tripuraneni will talk about how to get a local proclamation on extreme heat that can mobilize awareness, resources, and political will.

- Natalie Rubio, a middle school student in Sacramento, California, who developed the idea that led to AB 1653, will talk about her experiences with extreme heat in school that prompted her to seek a legislative solution.

After we hear from these 4 amazing speakers, we'll move to the workshop portion, where we'll give people space and community to brainstorm what actions they can take on a local and state level.
