We encourage community members to be involved in decisions that affect their lives. While the council always has important matters and information there are not always air quality or environmental justice issues on the agenda. When these issues do come up on the agenda we value community support in protecting previously underserved groups from poor air quality.
This group was founded in response to the Texas Department of Transportation’s North Houston Highway Improvement Project. Their meetings are announced via their newsletter (register here) and on their social media (Instagram: @stoptxdot-i45). Each meeting will have general updates on the project and planning on actions/strategy against the project as it stands. Air Alliance Houston’s main point of contact with Stop TxDOT I-45 is Melissa Beeler – [email protected]
The Houston Climate Movement has monthly meetings, often with a guest to discuss climate change in various forms.
Each month, City of Houston Council Member Tarsha Jackson hosts the District B Monthly Briefing so constituents can be updated on the environmental issues in the district. Some city departments and other government offices may be invited to present information and important updates for the district B community.
