NJ.com's Mosaic Newsletter Addresses Equity in New Jersey's Clean-Energy Transition

NJ.com's Mosaic Newsletter Addresses Equity in New Jersey's Clean-Energy Transition

NJ.com's Mosaic newsletter recently focused on ensuring equitable opportunities within New Jersey's clean-energy transition. The newsletter highlighted discussions from the Hermann Sustainability Summit, where panelists emphasized that a clean-energy economy will not automatically be equitable without intentional policies and access. John Harmon, founder and president of the African American Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey, pointed out that despite the state's diversity, equitable access to economic opportunities remains a challenge. He noted a contradiction where employers struggle to find workers while qualified individuals, including those returning from incarceration, face barriers to employment and training. To address this, the chamber has repurposed a 27,000-square-foot building in Trenton for workforce training in trades like carpentry, plumbing, electrical work, and welding, alongside business incubators.

Radio Kansas Faces Funding Shortfall, Urges Listener Donations to Preserve Programming

Radio Kansas Faces Funding Shortfall, Urges Listener Donations to Preserve Programming

Radio Kansas, a broadcast service of Hutchinson Community College, is facing a significant budget challenge due to the loss of anticipated federal grant money for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. This shortfall necessitates a greater reliance on voluntary donations from Kansans to maintain its programming. The station is appealing to its listeners to increase their contributions or for new donors to come forward to help meet its financial goals. They suggest that if all current members increase their giving by 30%, or if 30% more people begin donating, the funding issue could be resolved. Listeners are also encouraged to designate their donations to specific favorite shows, which will guide the station in deciding which programs to preserve in this period of diminished resources. Radio Kansas emphasizes that every penny pledged contributes to their seasonal goal and can shorten fundraising periods, as has happened in previous years when listeners donated in advance.
