This page brings together 2024 news from, about and of interest to community agency networks (CANs) and community groups' activism for climate, environment and many other sustainability topics across the US. After the end of this year US news pages will no longer be maintained so that available resources can be directed at instead improving US local news pages. Latest US community action news items will still be included towards the top of our United States community action page. A series of archive articles of US community action news covering the period 2010-2024 will be maintained for a limited time depending on the interest shown by numbers of page views.
