As 2021 comes to an end, please consider a contribution that will make a difference to an incredible Bay Area nonprofit organization that is at the intersection of economic equity and climate resilience. After proudly serving on the Rising Sun Board from 2014-2020, I am now a member the Advisory Board. Rising Sun's workforce development programs specialize in preparing youth, women, and individuals in reentry for high-road careers and green pathways that offer family-sustaining wages. Since its founding in 1994, Rising Sun has served more than 3,000 youth and adults while helping over 52,700 households reduce their carbon footprint.
