Sustain Our Abilities
Climate. Health. Disability.
Sustain Our Abilities is a climate change non-profit organization focused on the intersection of climate, health, and disability. SOA is dedicated to addressing the health impacts of climate change and expanding disability-inclusive climate action through public education, research, organizing and advocacy. We work to transform climate adaptation and mitigation in ways that improve the independence, health and well-being of all people with and without disabilities.
Green Route Aiding Healthy Adaptation and Mitigation
Started March 03, 2024
The United States does not promote active transportation. Follow and join SOA founder, Dr. Marcalee Alexander as she completes an awareness-raising walk from Canada to Key West. The walk was originally started in Campobello Island, Canada but was paused in Rocky Mount, North Carolina in February 2020 due to COVID-19. On March 3rd the journey will resume from Rocky Mount to Key West, Florida to raise awareness about the need for healthy living spaces, active transportation, and the dangers to our health from climate change.
"It's a climate emergency so I've got to get this done as quickly as possible. We can't wait to act. Pollution kills, take The GRAHAM." -Dr. Marcalee Alexander
