We organize advocacy training and opportunities, provide policy support, and develop resources and information, for members to use in their advocacy work. GreenLatinos is committed to pulling up more chairs to the tables of power for communities of color, low-income, immigrant, and rural communities that are most affected by the climate crisis.
Cinco de Mayo (May 5) is the anniversary of Mexico’s victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, succeeding in their fight for their land, water, and culture. But since the 1980s, Cinco de Mayo has been hijacked by commercial interests to sell Mexican heritage and party on “Cinco de Drinko,” leading to cultural appropriation and misinformation about Cinco de Mayo.
The GreenLatinos comunidad is taking back Cinco de Mayo by elevating this holiday as a day of action to reaffirm our commitment to protect our public lands, ocean, and culturas from those who seek to drill, mine, pollute, and otherwise destroy our cultural heritage and communities.

Thank the EPA for finalizing a strong rule to cut methane & other harmful pollutants from oil and gas operations
President Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently finalized standards to cut methane and other harmful pollutants from oil and gas operations across the country.
Add your name to this petition thanking President Biden and the EPA for taking bold action to address climate change and protect the health and well-being of our communities.
Transportation is the largest source of pollution that fuels the climate crisis in the US.
Finalizing strong federal standards for cars and trucks is crucial for the health of Latino/e communities.
