On February 9, LARC members gathered to discuss current priorities and to learn about what it takes to lead a successful Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) initiative. Thank you to our discussion moderator Thomas Yee from Community Partners and to our panelists, Dora Frietze-Armenta, Pacoima Beautiful; Katrina Kubicek, Watts Rising; Zahirah Mann, South Los Angeles Transit Empowerment Zone (SLATE-Z), for being so generous with their time and wisdom. See the notes for a detailed recap of the meeting.

During our project sharing and network coordination session, we heard members ask for support tracking and coordinating applications for grant opportunities. To facilitate these conversations, LARC created a Slack channel for supporting members, under-resourced cities, and EJ organizations.
