We are introducing the Excess Urban Heat Mitigation Act of 2025 to address the growing challenges of extreme heat in urban areas, particularly in underserved communities. This legislation aims to create a grant program that empowers cities and organizations to implement strategies like tree planting, cool roofs, and community cooling centers. Our goal is to reduce heat-related health risks and economic burdens while promoting environmental justice and resilience.
