Dozens of Atlantic City residents, community leaders and environmental advocates rallied for action Wednesday, in what they called a climate crisis. Atlantic City Councilmember Kaleem Shabazz said “Under-resourced communities face the greatest impacts, and our goal must be to build a growing coalition of environmentally conscious people to fight for a cleaner, more just future.” The rally highlighted Atlantic City’s extreme vulnerability to flooding and sea level rise, as well as the mounting financial toll of climate disasters on local families, businesses and taxpayers.
