Project Description
Archimedes once said, “Give me but a firm spot on which to stand, and I shall move the earth.” Communities of faith are a firm spot from which to move the Gulf South--and the earth. We will work through existing networks and faith-based communities for a new, distinct activity: The creation of From Resilience to Restoration Hubs in each Gulf South state, including a centralized, online database of resources geared toward adaptation and use by individual houses of faith in creating local From Resilience to Restoration plans. The emphasis will be on the most vulnerable communities. Project Director Malcom will act as Restoration Hub Coordinator to facilitate the establishment of hubs in each Gulf South state. Our partners in this effort include both faith-based, interfaith, and secular organizations include: * Education, Economics, Environmental, Climate, and Health Organization (EEECHO) * Texas Impact * Gulf Coast Creation Care (GCCC) * Gulf Coast Center for Law & Policy (GCCLP) * Interfaith Power & Light (IPL) chapters throughout the Southeast Each of these partners, with their relevant geographic resilience activities, restoration knowledge, and networks of contacts, will be key to the establishment of From Resilience to Restoration hubs in each Gulf South state.
