Climate Action SA helps community groups coordinate their campaigns for climate justice and assists San Antonio residents advocating for a city built on the principles of equity and democracy. We formed out of a rapid response to Donald Trump’s announcement that the United States would pull out of the international Paris agreement on climate change. This surge of activism ensured San Antonio would join hundreds of other cities in committing to collectively pursuing the values and goals of the agreement in spite of misguided efforts by our federal government.
Within a couple weeks, San Antonio had not only passed a Resolution for the Paris Agreement but committed $500,000 to the development of a plan to slash our greenhouse emissions and prepare our communities to better navigate the increasingly violent weather being driven by human-caused warming.
