Midwest Climate Leaders Share Stories of People and Place
McKnight Foundation is proud to share five stories—from Alanna, Marnese, Rick, Sarah, and Casey—representing just a few of the voices shaping climate and energy solutions in the Midwest.

Sidaa darteed waxaan kugu martiqaadayaa inaad noqoto geesinimo, inaad noqoto qof aan naxariis lahayn, inaad nagu soo biirto."
