Black led-organizations, leaders, and communities are not intentionally included in the national-level policy, funding, and programs that are meant to improve America’s resilience to climate change and other disasters. We are the invisible parts of the climate and disaster resilience ecosystem. The Black Resilience Network is a collective care and action community that supports each other’s existing efforts, amplifies our influence, and facilitates future collaborative funding and initiatives.
