South Bronx Unite is dedicated to championing policies that address the pressing issue of extreme heat in our community, recognizing its pivotal role in safeguarding the health and well-being of our residents. Our enduring battle against redlining and zoning policies has resulted in a disproportionate burden on our community, depriving our residents of sufficient green spaces, cooling infrastructure, resource centers, and essential health services. Through our ongoing advocacy to reduce extreme heat and make our communities more resilient, we envision a South Bronx that is safer, healthier, and more equitable for all,” said Leslie Vasquez, Clean Air Project Organizer at South Bronx Unite.
