Global warming, the energy crisis, and economic instability are already reaping devastating impacts on low-income people and communities of color. In the face of these challenges, a growing network of racial justice, environmental, and community resilience leaders are coming together to build a truly inclusive and equitable movement for regional self-reliance.

As a key part of this year's SF Green Festival, "Resilience for All" will showcase the work of a broad cross-section of Bay Area organizers who are working across race and class to forge collaborative campaigns that are preparing our communities for a post-carbon world. Together, we are building a world where everyone's vital needs are met through local clean energy, healthy organic foods, accessible transit, and quality green jobs.
