From street vendors and landscapers to postal workers, lifeguards, and neighbors without shelter, outdoor workers are the unsung heroes of our community. But as climate change drives temperatures higher, these essential workers are increasingly at risk, facing heat stroke, dehydration, displacement, and even death.

¡Que Calor! Historias de Nuestros Trabajadores is a powerful climate justice campaign that brings visibility to these everyday realities and demands urgent solutions grounded in dignity and equity.

Our ¡Que Calor! is a call to action rooted in visibility, equity, and community power. As Miami’s heat rises, so do the stakes for the outdoor workers who keep our city running. This campaign blends art, education, and advocacy to spotlight the lived experiences of Little Havana’s most heat-exposed residents and to demand solutions that protect their health, dignity, and right to thrive.

Our Campaign goals:

• Visual Storytelling: A striking photo series capturing the lives and labor of outdoor workers in Little Havana.

• Public Awareness: Stories featured in transit shelters and public spaces, making visible what is too often ignored.

• Community Education: Bilingual workshops equipping workers, residents, and employers with tools to stay safe and informed in extreme heat.

• Policy and Advocacy: In partnership with organizations like WeCount and Sachamama, we’re driving conversations that push for protections and systemic change.
