Do you know where the Nickel and Lithium in your batteries comes from? As part of earth week last Thursday, Climate HQ co-hosted a super important panel on the impact of mining in countries around the world.

Yesterday, the Rotary Club of San Francisco built & distributed 130 bikes. It was a fantastic day with many partners working together for the good of the community. These included:

SFSU Climate HQ
Yike
Gay4Good
Bayview YMCA
Sheriff’s Department
Salvation Army

Thanks to all who participated!

We did it. 🎉🐊

Thanks to the generosity of 31 donors, SFSU Climate HQ surpassed our Gator Giving Day goal — raising $6281 to support the next generation of climate justice leaders in San Francisco.

A special thank you to John Mathers' friends and Rotary community, whose $2,000 matching gift made today even more meaningful. John believed in local action and the next generation — and today you proved he was right.

Every gift goes directly to student fellowships, internships, and community partnerships addressing environmental justice across the Bay Area. We are so grateful. 🌊🌿

We're 60% of the way to our Gator Giving Day goal — and there's only $459 left to unlock the full matching gift in honor of John Mathers. That means the next few donors will double their impact AND complete the match. Don't let it go unclaimed. 🐊
