Lively Turnout at State Capitol Press Conference
At the CLIMATE DISASTERS AWARENESS WEEK PRESS CONFERENCE, State legislators, activists and environmental groups joined the call for urgent action to address our worsening climate crisis. The art installation in the Capitol Foyer featured moving art & imagery of the very worst wildfires, floods, droughts, extreme heat events, windstorms and other disasters exacerbated by climate change.
