ARIZONA

Between Heat and Uncertainty

ABOUT THE EPISODE

Arizona is one of the states most affected by extreme heat. Amid record-breaking temperatures, programs created under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) began bringing clean energy and relief on electricity bills to Latino communities. In 2025, cuts pushed by the Trump administration froze federal funding, putting solar projects and thousands of local jobs at risk. In this episode of Tierra Mía, we explore how these political decisions directly impact families, workers, and small businesses, while communities continue organizing to confront the heat and ongoing uncertainty.
