What California’s farmworkers can teach us during a season of giving
Every month since April, a local collective of Oxnard farmworkers called “De Campesinxs a Campesinxs (From Farmworkers to Farmworkers): Feeding those who feed us” has provided food, clothing, and school supplies to hundreds of farmworkers and families suffering during the COVID-19 pandemic. For the children of the farmworker volunteers, every food delivery gave them a chance to see love in action: what it’s like for a community to come together, and for strangers to be generous — not just with their time and their effort, but with their attitude toward those in need.

Unless urgent action is taken, climate change will increasingly threaten global health, disrupt lives and livelihoods, and overwhelm healthcare systems, according to a new review published in the medical journal, The Lancet. The Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change tracks 43 indicators on links between health and climate change; it is designed to provide better information to public health professionals and policymakers and accelerate their response to key threats and opportunities presented by climate change.

Towards a Just Recovery
The Center for Community Investment (CCI) at the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy is offering its first group course, Toward a Just Recovery. It is designed for leaders committed to leveraging community investment and in a position to tackle a challenge associated with racial inequities and economic marginalization in their communities. It will support teams of leaders in clarifying local priorities, enlisting institutions that could contribute to those priorities, developing a pipeline of investments, and changing policies and practices to create a more supportive financing environment. Deadline: January 13, 2021. (CCI)
