This year in Georgia, we’ve experienced some of the hottest days on record, and tens of millions of indoor and outdoor workers—disproportionately low-wage earners, people of color, and immigrants—are experiencing firsthand the devastating impacts of #climatechange in the form of extreme heat.

"Following this week’s election it is unlikely that the federal government will be taking any serious kind of action to protect the environment and combat climate change in the next several years.
