Survey Says: Federal Orders Are Having Regional Impact
In February 2025, we surveyed TOGETHER Bay Area members and partner organizations about the real and potential consequences of recent executive and secretarial orders. All of the respondents are on-the-ground implementers of climate resilience projects and programs working in the San Francisco Bay Area. They are place-based organizations working for healthy lands, waters, and communities.
From 28 organizations we heard:
- A significant financial impact. There is at least $60 million in funding for local projects that is currently threatened, but many organizations do not yet know how they will be impacted. The orders about federal funding are slowing down critical work for climate resilient lands, waters, and communities.
- A significant community impact. The orders about federal funding and policies are causing fear, anxiety, and concern for people’s safety and livelihoods.
- A call for regional collaboration to develop and deliver local solutions.
Together, we can do something about this.
TOGETHER Bay Area is committed to fostering the region’s resiliency so that we can respond to the federal crisis’s impact on Bay Area lands, waters, and communities. We are serving as a regional voice, hosting the Together Conference in May, connecting job seekers with hiring organizations on our Jobs Board, sharing information about funding opportunities like Prop 4 Climate Bond, continuing to advocate for regional funding, and more.
You can be a part of something positive, inclusive, and impactful. Join us!
