Silver Trail Middle School has joined the #UnderwaterBroward movement! 🏃🏽 We engaged almost one hundred students in learning about the immense climate challenges we face, but more importantly, the opportunity we have to change the course of history. 📚

At the 22nd Annual Broward Water Matters Day, we spoke about the launch of our climate initiative, “The Underwater: Broward” and engaged tons of people in the process. This may hold the record for most Underwater elevation yard signs given out in a single day! #UnderwaterBroward

#UnderwaterBroward makes a splash at Driftwood Middle!💧 We had over 100 students learn about climate justice and then dove straight into solutions and engaged them all in participating in our countywide initiative, “The Underwater: Broward.” ✊🏼

And our first #UnderwaterBroward middle school is complete! Beachside Montessori Village is near the Hollywood coastline, but it sits high at 11 feet above sea level. 🏫 We engaged every single one of their 6th graders in learning about using art for climate action. 🌎 – at Miami Beach, FL

Today the @XCFoundation partnered with the Peabody Essex Museum to launch the newest iteration of “Endangered World” 🌎 People were invited to adopt-a-species, pledge an eco-action on behalf of that animal, and silkscreen it onto an old piece of clothing or cloth 🐘 – at Salem, MA

Thank you to @XCFoundation for visiting Miami Beach Sr. today! The Underwater is an interactive, socially engaged art project that sparks conversation & action around climate change & sea level rise. Our students had so much fun learning & contributing to the art installation!

Here’s a look inside our inspiring day at Demps Park with some incredibly wise elders.🍃 Check out how they created elevation yard signs and took part in a touching ritual with @xcortada, a profound moment—hopefully the first and last time that seawater touches the sculpture.

🙌 It’s all about the U! Take a look at the University of Miami’s “U” statue hosting Xavier Cortada’s “Underwater Vote” campaign back in 2020! Remember to prioritize good climate policy when electing your government officials!

In 2020, the Underwater Vote installation surfaced at the University of Miami’s Lakeside Village, urging spectators to cast their votes for leaders committed to climate action at every level of government. 🙌🗳️
