GreenLatinos is committed to providing resources for Latine & Indigenous communities across the beautifully diverse state of California to organize & unite to protect our environment, our cultural identities, and our safe community spaces.
Our newly developing Los Angeles Urban Greening program exists to connect, uplift & empowers community organizations to advocate for ecological & social justice across grassroots & policy — currently offering $1M in grant opportunities & ongoing resources for community orgs addressing healthy food access, safe community spaces, and Latine/indigenous cultural identity.
About GreenLatinos:
We are a national network of Latino/a/e environmental and conservation champions fighting against climate change and environmental degradation that intensifies systemic social, health, and economic injustices in our communities.
About the GreenLatinos Sustainable Cities Urban Greening Initiative:
Urban greening takes on a particularly powerful meaning in hyper-urban cities across CA like Los Angeles & Oakland as it is intertwined with the social and ecological inequalities that have long affected California’s communities and neighborhoods. Through GreenLatinos urban greening efforts & program, we seek to directly uplift communities & organizations directly addressing food insecurity & community building with environmental/ecological justice as the focal point.
