Freedom to Breathe Tour - Miami The Freedom to Breathe Tour event in Miami, held on Monday, August 27th at Vizcaya, was a big success. CLEO, in collaboration with WLRN and Climate Nexus, convened a diverse panel of experts to discuss climate justice issues impacting Miami. Climate gentrification was at the forefront of the conversation, highlighting that many vulnerable communities in Miami Dade county face multiple threats from the impacts of climate change. In addition, the conversation focused on the EPA Clean Power Plan rollbacks from the current administration and what this means for our environment in Florida and beyond. Joining us on the panel were: Valencia Gunder, Dr. Ben Kirtman, Commissioner Ken Russell, Kate Stein and Cathleen Kelly; with opening remarks by Ian Simpkins from Vizcaya Museum and Yoca Arditi-Rocha, CLEO's co-executive director.   To check out the news coverage of the event, click the links below: WLRN – Town Hall at Vizcaya Focuses on Climate Change in South Florida Nexus Media – Climate Change is Creating an Affordable Housing Crisis in Miami Think Progress – Florida’s Climate Activists are Gearing Up for a Fight Think Progress – Climate Gentrification and Trump’s Immigration Crackdown is Hitting this Miami Neighborhood Hard UPCOMING EVENTS MIAMI RISING Join us for a day of live music, speakers and events.  ​Let's rise for Climate Jobs and Justice!  ​Click the flyer below for more information EMPOWERING RESILIENT WOMEN AND GIRLS Join us for our 3rd workshop: WE Act Come learn about civic engagement, how the government works at the city, state and federal level.
