Annie Carforo took journalists from the Arizona Republic, which is based in Phoenix and the state’s largest newspaper, on our East Harlem heat tour. Even though Phoenix suffers from more extreme heat than New York City, they had read about our tour in the New York Times and wanted to see how our community copes. The main Arizona Republic article features a 3-minute video in which Annie describes the ways in which environmental racism impacts East Harlem. Parts of the tour were also used in a photo essay the journalists did on how New Yorkers cope with the heat. And the article was picked up by USA Today and Yahoo News – the latter of which also featured the video.
