Donate to communities for climate relief

More and more communities are experiencing climate-driven natural disasters. These are a few of the many communities that could use any support you’re able to provide as they recover from recent climate impacts:

Recent hurricanes

Florida:  https://wck.org/ - https://wck.org/relief  World Central Kitchen also is providing support in PR, Pakistan and Ukraine too - great organization for immediate food needs to the people who need it most. Tagline is “food is a universal human right” 

Puerto Rico hurricane relief: https://www.hispanicfederation.org/fionahelp/ 

Recent forest fires

Bolt Creek Fire, Washington State: donate to the Sky Valley Chamber of Commerce. Local communities including local businesses near the Bolt Creek Fire by Highway 2 in Snohomish County are experiencing hard impacts from smoke and wildfire threat. The Sky Valley Chamber of Commerce is helping give money for evacuation costs and economic and food relief (e.g. loss of food in freezers, etc.)  

Jackson, Mississippi drinking water crisis: neighborhoods in Jackson, notably Black and lower income areas, have not had safe drinking water for far too long, and recent flooding has exacerbated the water crisis there: https://formississippi.org/ways-to-help-jackson-water-crisis/

Storytelling and Digital Engagement Manager, Climate Solutions

Jonathan Toshio Lee (pronouns: he/him) is passionate about sharing people- and solutions-centric stories that educate and inspire positive change. He has over twelve years of experience developing communications strategies, creating multimedia content, advocating for sound public policy, and promoting equity, diversity, and social justice. 

Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, the importance of protecting the environment was instilled in him at a young age. Jonathan heeded the call to address the climate crisis as a teenager after watching Al Gore's documentary An Inconvenient Truth (2006), after which he sought to reduce his own climate pollution, wrote to his elected officials to support climate policy and pollution reduction, and began to volunteer in the conservation movement. Jonathan is a graduate of Willamette University with a degree in sociology and ethnic studies, which helped equip him to analyze the numerous intersections of climate, environmental justice, and public discourse. 

Before joining the Climate Solutions team in 2019, Jonathan worked in the crime victims' services field and served as a board member and volunteer with OPAL Environmental Justice Oregon.
