Change happens because women/femmes organize it.

From neighborhoods to global movements, they continue to lead with courage, strategy, and vision, guiding communities through challenge, transformation, and possibility.

Culture lives because women/femmes carry it forward.

Across generations, they have preserved language, traditions, stories, and collective wisdom that shape who we are and where we are going.

With court decisions, ongoing litigation, and new leadership at the state level, “this is going to be a very critical year,” says Dr. Ana Baptista, Director of Tishman Environment and Design Center.

Climate Week 2025 Keynote Event: Building Local to Global Climate Coalitions Powered by Communities At a time when environmental policy, regulations, research, and budgets face unprecedented and systemic attacks, new climate coalitions are emerging, from local neighborhoods to the global stage. These coalitions, powered by the vision and voices of communities, are advancing environmental and climate justice by bringing together policymakers, philanthropy, grassroots organizations, and academia to chart a path toward a just, thriving economy and healthy futures for all. This Climate Week 2025 keynote brought together multi-sectoral leaders who are building and sustaining these transformative alliances. Julia Fay Bernal (Sandia Pueblo and Yuchi), Executive Director, Pueblo Action Alliance in New Mexico Kaniela Ing, former Hawaiʻi House of Representatives and Tishman Center Fellow Mayor Justin M. Bibb of Cleveland, Ohio U.S. Representative Kathy Castor (FL-14), who leads the Thriving Economy Project with SEEC Institute, and the former Chair of the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis Phyllis Cuttino, the President and CEO of the Climate Reality Project Co-moderated by Dr. Ana Isabel Baptista, Director of the Tishman Environment & Design Center and Stephanie Gidigbi Jenkins, Co-Director, Communities First Fund. This event had a powerful opening by Janétza Miranda, Singer/ Songwriter/ Musician/ Humanitarian. This event is presented by Tishman Environment and Design Center in collaboration with the Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR) founded in 1976 and producer of Mother Jones and the public radio show and podcast Reveal, and the Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition Institute (SEEC Institute), a nonprofit established in 2023, to increase understanding, build support, and drive action on critical climate and environmental issues. This event is part of the Tishman Center’s year-long celebration honoring two decades of the evolution and impact of the Center’s work, alongside communities. #Tishman20 www.tishmancenter.org

How are we all building coalitions powered by communities?

Throughout the week, Las Jotas reminded us:
✨ Trust the process
🤝 Stay rooted in community
🎨 Don’t design alone

This night wasn’t just a celebration—it was a ceremony of commitment.
#EJDisruptDesign #EJisDemocracy

This was the very practice of designing for movement building—like our lives depended on it.
Because they do.
#EJDisruptDesign #EJisDemocracy #EnvironmentalJustice #CollectivePower

🌀 From beach ceremonies to design sessions—EJ Disrupt Design Fellows showed what it means to build strategy from spirit.
#EJDisruptDesign #CenteringJustice #BorikénRising

This gathering may never happen again in this way, in this place. But we were here. Together. To remember that is resistance—in story, struggle, and sacred solidarity.
#EJDisruptDesign #MovementMemory #BorikénRising

🌺 At the edge of the sea in Borikén, EJ Disrupt Design Fellows gathered in ceremony—called into a circle of spirit, memory, and movement legacy. #EJDisruptDesign #BorikénRising

Fellows reflected not just on strategy—but on purpose. On what brought them here, and what they’re building beyond this gathering.
#MovementMemory #EJDisruptDesign

🌿 Last week at COPI we stepped into a living practice of environmental justice—where land, spirit, and culture are not separate from organizing, but essential to it.
#EJDisruptDesign #BorikénRising

This is what it means to design in community: to begin by remembering.

“These fellows have been on the frontlines of fighting toxic pollution and rebuilding community infrastructure,” said Angela Mahecha, Director of the EJ Disrupt Design Fellowship.
This work is grounded in local wisdom and cultural power—from Loíza to Lahaina.
