SUMMARY:Webinar - Follow The Money: Data on Environmental Health & Justice Grantmaking
DESCRIPTION:As you plan your grantmaking for 2025 and develop equity strategies\, do you know where other foundations are investing in Environmental Health & Justice? Are you interested in learning about our ongoing initiative to track grantmaking dollars going to Black\, Indigenous\, or People of Color-led organizations? \nJoin  this “Follow the Money” webinar cosponsored by HEFN and EGA to hear insights on the newest findings on 2022 Environmental Health & Justice funding. \nIn the past few years\, health & justice issues are under the spotlight with the heightened racial justice movements and the unprecedented challenges brought by the Covid-19 pandemic. Through HEFN’s partnership with the Environmental Grantmakers Association (EGA)’s Tracking the Field database\, we recorded a total of $1.45 billion in funding given to environmental health & justice issues in 2022. This marks a 15% increase from 2021\, a notable increase but a lower rate of growth compared to the previous year. \nThis new data highlights What\, Where\, How and Who environmental health & justice funding is going to\, featuring updated demographic data analysis on BIPOC representation within grantee organizations and a new map looking at funding given to grantees based in different states. Over time\, we observed increasing amounts of funding supporting organizations led by Black\, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) and women and more resources being directed to underserved communities. However\, the data reveals ongoing disparities and needs that exist in many aspects. \nDuring this webinar\, you will learn about the newest over-time analysis of environmental health & justice funding and funding specifically given to sub-issues like Air Quality\, Drinking Water\, Safer Chemicals & Materials\, Oil and Gas development\, Health & Equitable Economy\, and climate health & justice. You will also learn about the amount of environmental health & justice funding impacting specific groups\, including Children & Young people\, Women\, Low-income Communities\, Workers and Communities of Color. \nThis builds on existing research EGA presented at the HEFN Annual Meeting in October 2024\, and monitors the swift changes happening in the sector. \nPresenters: \n\nAnsje Miller\, Executive Director\, Health and Environmental Funders Network\nAshley Li\, Tracking the Field Research Specialist\, Environmental Grantmakers Association

SUMMARY:Charlotte event: Workers and Advocates Hold Statewide Heat and Human Rights Events to Urge Adoption of Federal Heat Standards
DESCRIPTION:As the international community prepares to recognize Human Rights Day in the coming week\, a coalition of North Carolina organizations are leveraging the December 10th commemoration to call for basic protections for workers exposed to extreme temperatures on the job. The group is hosting three regional Heat and Human Rights Events on December 8th\, 9th\, and 10th. \nAccording to the North Carolina Department of Labor (NC DOL)\, employers operate under the General Duty Clause which states “Each employer shall furnish to each of his employee’s conditions of employment and a place of employment free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious injury or serious physical harm to his employees.” Labor and health advocates maintain that this clause is insufficient to protect workers. Our group asks to meet with Farley in January to discuss plans to protect workers from heat. \nRead the full press release here. \n\nCharlotte  (December 10 at 4.30 pm ) 206 E Tremont Ave
