🌻 LA Climate Events: Week of July 14
Texas flood reflections, upcoming events, and our latest article on the growing rift between the Dodgers and their fans over climate justice and ICE raids.
Hey LA Climate Friends,
The deadly flash floods Central Texas and beyond have been heartbreaking and infuriating. These floods are not just disasters; they’re the result of failed leadership and climate denial. Communities are paying the price for inaction. 💔
The only way out of this climate mess is with way more people engaged and organized. So let’s keep showing up and bring our friends, family, and neighbors into the mix too.
With hope,
—Amanda & HeyClimate Team 🌻

⚾️ Recommendation of the week
This week, we're reading a powerful commentary by LA Times climate reporter Sammy Roth, exploring the connections between sports, politics, and climate injustice.
Sports have a unique way of uniting people, but they can also reveal painful divides. Right now, many Angelenos find themselves at odds with their beloved Dodgers, not just over their delayed response to recent ICE raids, but also their ties to the oil industry and their historical role in displacing communities to build Dodger Stadium.
It’s a moment of reckoning for a team long seen as a symbol of progress. Check out the article below.
