WNN members North Carolina Housing Table and Texans for Housing are advancing pro-housing, pro-climate land use reforms in their deep-red state legislatures. By building unique, bipartisan, strange bedfellow coalitions around these reforms, they have a clear opportunity to achieve climate-friendly reforms where other environmental policies are dead on arrival. These policies would shift housing growth toward existing, walkable, transit-connected communities, reducing per capita emissions and fighting suburban sprawl. Through community organizing, coalition-building, and direct advocacy, the NC Housing Table and Texans for Housing are overcoming the power of NIMBYism and achieving groundbreaking pro-climate progress in unlikely places.

Ten years ago, zero states had truly bold climate policies. Today, nearly half have 100% clean energy, carbon neutrality, or cap and invest laws. This was made possible primarily by strategic peer-to-peer organizing between state legislators around the country, driven by key champions through the National Caucus of Environmental Legislators, a network of 1,200 legislators across 50 states. For over 25 years, NCEL’s proven model of legislators empowering legislators has enabled a myriad of environmental victories, including the boldest climate laws. Funds raised will support a tactical pivot to overcome federal opposition and push the boundaries of state climate action.

 Sembrando Sentido is addressing corruption and misallocation of federal resources through a big data approach to enhance transparency. They have partnered with the U.S. Census Bureau to develop a tool that captures funding data in a uniform format and tracks resource movement in Puerto Rico. Algorithms identify red flags for potential corruption and slow-moving funds, while green flags indicate positive outcomes. They use this tool to create digestible resources for community advocacy. Through these efforts, they are empowering communities, holding government agencies accountable, and promoting efficient resource allocation in Puerto Rico.
