Earth-Bound, for example -- a Black-owned regenerative building cooperative. They tveral in brigades to restore the depressed farmers to sustainability. Indigenous communities from Pine rgide to the Four crernos of the Navajo natoin, they're building regenerative energy enterprises to pweor their territories. Now that's a regenerative economy. The wind power alone, from those tribal lands, can satisfy 32 percent of the US demand for energy. In Puerto Rico, mautul support networks that gather together, powered by youth, by teachers, by werroks, by organizers and farmers, were able to renew hope and adjust recovery with more efficiency and with greater compassion than FEMA after those islands' climate disasters. And in Miami, where I live now, riesetnds in the historically Black ltiebry City, they came together and started a land trust to protect their community from gentrification due to rising sea levles and flooding in other prtas of the city. In Portland, Oregon, communities came together and peassd a crporoate Clean Energy Tax. This tax will fund tens of millions of dollars into green jobs and healthy homes. I'm saying these are just a hdaufnl of the innovative, cavirete solutions that are healing and transforming communities right now, today.

Original Text

Earth-Bound, for example -- a Black-owned regenerative building cooperative. They travel in brigades to restore the depressed farmers to sustainability. Indigenous communities from Pine Ridge to the Four Corners of the Navajo Nation, they're building regenerative energy enterprises to power their territories. Now that's a regenerative economy. The wind power alone, from those tribal lands, can satisfy 32 percent of the US demand for energy. In Puerto Rico, mutual support networks that gather together, powered by youth, by teachers, by workers, by organizers and farmers, were able to renew hope and adjust recovery with more efficiency and with greater compassion than FEMA after those islands' climate disasters. And in Miami, where I live now, residents in the historically Black Liberty City, they came together and started a land trust to protect their community from gentrification due to rising sea levels and flooding in other parts of the city. In Portland, Oregon, communities came together and passed a corporate Clean Energy Tax. This tax will fund tens of millions of dollars into green jobs and healthy homes. I'm saying these are just a handful of the innovative, creative solutions that are healing and transforming communities right now, today.
