What do we do?
- We run a rapid response communications operation to drive the national and local climate narrative for Latinos.
- We develop and run campaigns to influence Latino voters in key states to support climate progress.
- We collaborate with Latino organizations and community leaders interested in working on climate, the expansion of a clean energy economy, and furthering climate progress.
- We work to counter climate disinformation and misinformation targeting Latinos.
- We collaborate with influencers and content creators to drive the digital climate narrative for Latino audiences.
Latinos understand how climate change is increasingly impacting their lives and the urgency needed to address this crisis. At the same time, they see hope in climate action at the federal level. They recognize the progress achieved with the clean energy plan and its climate investments. This trend will only grow in the near future as the law continues its implementation.”

Not only did we get something done, it was our country’s largest investment in climate ever, larger than any investment of any nation in the world. Now, we have to implement effectively, implement equitably…we’re going to build on that success because it’s important for climate, it’s important for public health, right? It’s our community that’s disproportionately impacted by air pollution, water pollution, et cetera, and it just makes business sense.”
