RE:SEED THE EARTH

Caring for the planet is an important focus at RE:Frame. In South Phoenix, Arizona, BIPOC youth face compounded challenges from environmental injustices, including extreme heat, food insecurity, and the impacts of mass incarceration. The area experiences the highest temperatures in Phoenix, with heatwaves exceeding 110°F, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations. High youth incarceration rates limit economic and educational opportunities, further entrenching systemic barriers. By promoting environmental justice, youth gain a deeper understanding of the intersection between ecological health and social cohesion.
