In this powerful episode of The Sustainable Act, I sit down with 22-year-old social entrepreneur and changemaker JC Arce to explore how lived experience fuels meaningful impact.
JC opens up about navigating homelessness and systemic barriers as a queer, BIPOC, first-generation youth—and how those challenges shaped his mission to build resilient, community-rooted systems for sustainability and justice.
Together, we dive into the intersections of policy, culture, grassroots organizing, and economic development—plus a behind-the-scenes look at what’s ahead for LA Climate Week 2025.
JC’s story is a testament to courage, creativity, and the power of showing up for your people.
🎧 Tune in for a raw and inspiring conversation on reclaiming agency, cultivating emotional sustainability in movements, and why real change always starts with community.
