Get Involved: Do Outreach in Your Community

The ReAct Tool Kit, available on this website, was developed to support neighborhood outreach on Health and Climate in underserved communities. Two community outreach campaigns, called Rising Together: Temperature, Water, Health and Strength, took place in Boca Raton and Delray Beach, Florida. These campaigns were used to developed this replicable and scalable model of how to inform communities of the links between health and climate, and to empower grassroots groups to survey their community and present the results to public officials. We would like to encourage communities nationwide to engage in similar outreach initiatives.

Below is a button with a link to a webpage that explains the process we engaged in with the first two demonstration communities. It will provide you with the step-by-step guidelines on how to use the ReACT Tool Kit to lead a Rising Together campaign in your community.
