On June 19, 1865, an executive order brought freedom to more than 250,000 enslaved Black Americans, a moment in history we now honor as Juneteenth. Today calls us to celebrate resilience, acknowledge the abolition of slavery, and renew our commitment to justice and equality for all.

LGBTQIA+ leaders and advocates in the environmental justice space are essential to the broader effort of protecting our planet and supporting communities that bear the heaviest burden of climate change. Their dedication and drive continue to push us toward a healthier, more equitable, and sustainable world.

We're proud to highlight a few LGBTQIA+-led environmental justice organizations doing powerful work:
+ Queer Nature, a nature-based/naturalist education project serving mostly LGBTQ2+ people to promote ecological stewardship and teach survival skills
+ Queer Ecojustice Project, a group of storytellers who create docuseries and other resources, such as reading lists, about the current state of our environment
+ Queers x Climate, an international organization dedicated to uniting and supporting climate and LGBTQ+ activism to develop and implement solutions for our common global climate crisis

Did you know Atlanta celebrates Pride in October — not June?

It started in 2008 when a severe summer drought prompted organizers to move the event to fall. The cooler weather brought bigger crowds, and the timing aligned naturally with National Coming Out Day, which marks the anniversary of the National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights. The rest, as they say, is history.

As requirements under modern energy codes embed air barrier verification and whole‑building testing, the real test lies in how well a building is executed and nothing reveals that more clearly than airtightness.

Inspired by a national grocery retailer’s proactive approach to Building Envelope Commissioning (BECx), the article below examines why airtightness has become a defining indicator of energy efficiency and how Epsten Group’s BECx team is leading the industry in performance verification.
