  • Houston Congressional District 18 Forum: Community Candidate Conversations
    Jan 13 2026
    Today, we are here at the Judson Robinson Senior Community Center, where environmental justice groups hosted a rare and powerful event: a *Speed Date with Candidates* forum for Texas Congressional District 18 — a district that currently winds around Harris County, where pollution, flood risk, and economic inequality hit hardest. As one of the oldest Master planned communities in East Houston, the area is well known for its historic voter turnout. Currently, voter turnout has dropped to 54 percent, but the landscape of participation on October 11th is enthusiastic. In a few minutes, we will collect perspectives from candidates and community members who participated in a series of question answers to learn more about their leadership plans to address CD18’s community infrastructure, health, and environmental equity plaguing communities of color. Transparency is what community members are seeking to measure whether or not their ideal candidate is a good match their ideas for what is best in their district.

This practice can significantly impact the representation of various communities in the political process.

    Dec 13 2025
    By examining the intersection of policy, and environmental justice, this podcast aims to amplify the voices of those who are disproportionately affected through weatherization. Clean air, water and land are on watch because resources are scarce due to the lack of adequate representation that has been repositioned due to redistricting. As we fight for a sustainable future, this podcast will take a deeper dive into in previous reports reviewed from the Environmental Protection Agency, its emphasis on climate change and pollution outcomes that disproportionately affect low-income communities making representation a crucial part of the narritavie to address these issues.
