Possibilities

Climate and Clean Energy
With support from the Foundation, in early 2023 grantee WE ACT for Environmental Justice's "Out of Gas, In with Justice" pilot found significant reductions in indoor air pollution when transitioning from gas to induction stoves.
By September, New York announced the Clean Heat for All Challenge to install heat pumps in 30,000 public housing units.
"I definitely noticed the difference. I have asthma and didn't know that the gas stove was contributing to it. Now I have no cough, and I don't feel congested like before."
—Mary Rivera, a resident who received an induction stove as part of the study.
In dense urban areas, buildings are responsible for 70 percent of greenhouse gas emissions.*

Human Rights
In 2023, several Human Rights grantees worked to end surveillance and punishment by furthering community-based alternatives to policing, including advancing alternatives to 911.
In California, grantee Justice Teams Network implemented a rapid response program focused on intimate partner violence.
In Georgia, grantee Policing Alternatives and Diversion Initiative operated ATL 311, the City of Atlanta's first community-based alternative to 911—responding to 1,498 calls for service requests.
To further accountability outside of courts, grantee Ahimsa Collective provided restorative justice responses outside the state or criminal legal systems to address harm in ways that foster wholeness for everyone.
