Audience: Asian Americans

Recent acts of violence and injustice—here in Minneapolis–St. Paul and in communities across the country—are not only social and political crises; they are health crises. As we navigate ongoing harm and uncertainty, it is essential that we care for ourselves and one another.

From the latest on perennial topics such as engaging rural audiences, to new frontier insights on building support for climate superfunds or for battery storage, join the Climate Advocacy Lab and our research partners on the ground across the country for an hour packed with presentations on our latest research. Presentations include projects in collaboration with the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication (message test among Six Americas audience segments, especially among Asian & Latino populations), Evangelical Environmental Network (testing testimonial videos), Water Hub (disaster resilience opinions), Vermont Public Interest Research Group (Climate Superfund Act attitudes), Alliance for Climate Transition (maintaining support for battery energy storage systems), and Resource Rural (persuasive message framing and rural narrative analysis).

Current energy and water systems are failing us. Too often, corporate shareholder profits are prioritized over providing affordable, clean energy and water to our communities. While profits break records, millions have their power and water shutoff and accumulate debt turning these essential services back on. We’re launching the “Utilities for All” playbook to point the path towards a world where utility bills are affordable, with no risk of shutoff or mountains of debt accumulating in sight.

Through stories and reflections from the Climate + Health Peer Learning Circle, we’ll explore how health leaders are building power, reshaping narratives, and advancing climate solutions through a health equity lens.

The session will cover legal rights, what ICE can and can't legally do, updates on ICE tactics, appropriate responses to ICE interactions, and what to do if someone is detained.

Communities of color have long been at the forefront of environmental and climate justice movements—yet their voices are too often marginalized within larger advocacy spaces. This session is designed to center and uplift BIPOC advocates by exploring strategies to amplify their leadership, create inclusive organizing structures, and build durable, supportive networks within the climate movement.
