“We are now
faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the
fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history
there is such a thing as being too late. Procrastination is still the
thief of time. Life often leaves us standing bare, naked and dejected
with a lost opportunity. This may well be mankind’s last chance to
choose between chaos or community.” Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr., ‘Where Are We Going From Here: Chaos or
Community’. |

How far behind are communities of color, vulnerable community on climate change issues? February 2021.
Vulnerable communities receive notices of funding, and other opportunities just as a deadline date approaches to properly prepare, while others receive the information months in advance.
Is this equity? Is this inclusion?
Shall vulnerable communities always be playing catch-up, getting the short end of the stick, or even no stick at all?
