Hi Mother Jones Reader,

There is no path to solving the climate crisis that doesn't run through the South. That’s why this year, the Southern Environmental Law Center is bringing the South to Climate Week NYC, the world’s largest climate event and a global platform for advancing progress.

Please join us, virtually or in person, as leading experts and Southern voices shine a spotlight on some of the most pressing climate issues impacting our region and beyond.

We invite you to attend this three-part series that centers the South in the climate conversation on September 22, 2026.

Hear how grassroots organizers are pushing for change not only at the local level but calling for more transparency and national policy action.
