Listening Sessions: Targeting Equitable Climate Infrastructure into Low and Moderate Income Communities
Start: Wednesday, May 07, 2025•06:00 PM
End: Wednesday, May 07, 2025•08:00 PM
Join the Redress Movement and Rebuild by Design to help us create equitable climate investment principles to guide banks’ reinvestments in our communities.
We’re looking for community members from Metro Charlotte neighborhoods harmed by segregation and disinvestment, and which are now bearing a greater burden of climate impacts like flooding, high heat days, and rising energy prices. Your input is essential to crafting an equitable path forward. Local advocates on these issues are also invited to join us for an active workshop to understand your priorities. Dinner will be provided at the in-person meeting and stipends are available for the first 30 participants to RSVP and attend both events.
Your experience and guidance will ultimately inform a set of principles for equitable infrastructure investments, and two guides–one for communities and one for banks–to understand how we can leverage federal requirements to support investments in low- and moderate-income Metro Charlotte communities to adapt to climate change.
Note: if you haven't already RSVP-ed to the companion virtual event, please do that here.
