HEAT RESPONSE is a workshop series illuminating an arts and civic engagement project addressing climate change and environmental racism in three Philadelphia neighborhoods hit hardest by excessive heat.

Community locations will be finalized soon; after signing up you will receive an email with details,  at least one week before the Work Day/Teach-In.
