🚨🚨🚨 We're near the end of the 2026 #WashingtonState legislative session, and the Healthy Environment for All (HEAL) Act, which we helped write and pass into law in 2021, is under attack. Proposed state budget cuts to the HEAL Act will significantly harm efforts to make the community vision of a healthy environment for all a reality for Washingtonians. How can you help? ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽 Go to our handy action form right on our home page at FrontAndCentered.Org (or check out the link in our profile!). It takes just 30 seconds to contact lawmakers and tell them to fund HEAL properly. Let's defend HEAL and the promise of a Healthy Environment for All, together! 🧡💛💚❤️ #EnvironmentalJustice #WAleg #HEALAct

Exciting news: one of our priority bills is scheduled for a hearing this Thursday morning in the House Appropriations Committee! 🥳🥳 You can take action NOW to support House Bill 1903 to expand and sustain energy assistance to households in the greatest need of bill relief! This is a short legislative session and we are working on a tight deadline to have the bill heard and voted out of committee. We’re asking you to take two minutes to take two actions that will help bring monthly bill assistance to the households in Washington who need it most. First, you can sign in PRO before the House Appropriations Committee meets this Thursday at 9:00 am by going to FrontAndCentered.Org or the link in our profile. (What does it mean to sign in PRO? It's as simple as sharing your name, email, city, and ZIP code while declaring your stance as "Pro"—in support of House Bill 1903.) And then, after you sign in PRO, you can tell lawmakers to schedule this bill for a vote and to pass it out of committee! Thanks to your work last year we passed the bill out of the first committee with almost unanimous and bipartisan support. We’re hoping to do it again this year to send our bill to a vote by the full House of Representatives! Go to FrontAndCentered.Org or the link in our profile and take action NOW to email committee members urging a YES vote on 1903. By taking two minutes to take these two actions, you can help us bring much needed relief to households who are seeing a significant increase in their energy bills! Thank you in advance for taking action, and please share this post with your friends, families, and allies! 😎 #EnvironmentalJustice #ClimateJustice #WAleg #WashingtonState

I exist in an almost constant state of gratitude these days despite it all… together we rise. ✨ The last panel question from our beloved community during The Hot Girl’s Healing Podcast season 3 wrap party was one for our youth; what would we tell a young person today? My answer was (in short) to find your community, hold them down and let them hold you down. These are some of the people who I’m #healingincommunity with and I am so grateful for each of them 😌🥰🤩✨ #community #wrapparty #hotgirlshealing #grattitude #peace #purpose #alignment #growth #fallcolors #drip

Our latest report, Gardening for #TransportationJustice, is out now! It's the culmination of our work with @wsdot and nineteen grantee organizations from frontline communities. Now that our grant program is done, we've got recommendations for those interested in following our granting model—and we think you should follow it because it's great for communities and for reducing carbon emissions! 😎😎 Our grant program proved a community-led collaborative approach to granting can be done and that it makes both processes and outcomes for climate and the environment much more equitable and impactful! 💪🏽💪🏽 Check out our report at our new Climate Justice webpage at FrontAndCentered.Org—you'll be able to find a link in our profile too! 😎😎 Screenshot of the cover page of Front and Centered's newest white paper, titled "Gardening for Transportation Justice: A Blueprint for Community-centered Carbon Reduction." The design is mostly blank white space with geometric shapes that are colored with a mix of the branding colors for Front and Centered and the Washington State Department of Transportation.
