When we talk about climate change, we hear one word all the time: resilient. We use it to talk about everything from our houses, to our power grid, to ourselves. Earlier this spring, we asked our listeners to tell us how you feel about this word. And you blew up our voicemail box.In this episode of Sea Change, we hear your responses. And we ask: how can we address the physical forces of climate change and the broken social systems that make it an even greater threat? We hear stories about efforts from across the Gulf Coast – from storm-proofing homes to creating neighborhood disaster response groups – to help keep people from needing to be resilient in the first place.

Program to prepare Old Algiers residents for health care jobs
A new initiative seeks to help Old Algiers residents ages 18 to 40 find training and jobs in the health care industry.
The W.K Kellogg Foundation has granted the program $90,000 to develop #EquityRising, which will eventually include other partnerships to build career and entrepreneurial opportunities in the Old Algiers community, a news release said.
Three entities announced a joint effort to bring equitable opportunities to the community: the Old Algiers Main Street Corporation, Resilience Force and Advanced Nursing Training.
Resilience Force is a national initiative that has worked with the city to create The New Orleans Resilience Corps, a program to help strengthen the city’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic while creating economic opportunity for those who have lost jobs over the last year.
