Speakers discussed mechanisms for supporting effective solutions that engage local partners and strengthen community capacity while creating room for participant comments and questions. \nPresenters and participants explored how to: \n\nHighlight timely federal funding applications and decision-making points that will be critical for Midwestern participants working on climate justice issues; and\nSuggest concrete actions to help ensure frontline communities benefit from the public funding programs.\n\nFAQs\nWho’s sponsoring these events?
