California is not just the state most affected by the climate crisis. It is the state that has done the most to fight it. But in 2025, federal cuts froze programs that were changing lives. In this episode of Tierra Mía, three stories show what happens when the government steps back and the community steps forward: a farm worker demanding protections under the Central Valley sun, an organization that built an emergency fund in 24 hours after the Los Angeles wildfires, and a community leader who went all the way to Sacramento so that 670 homes could have clean water. The funding may be on pause. They are not.
