The campaign will combine a digital-first strategy with targeted on-the-ground events during New York Climate Week, the 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30), and Earth Week 2026, reaching Latino families where they are: online, in community, and through the media they trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since January 2025, <a href=\"https:\/\/climatepower.us\/news\/trumps-epa-is-recklessly-rolling-back-protections-that-keep-our-air-clean-and-families-healthy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">more than 31 environmental protections<\/a> have been rolled back, threatening hard-won climate progress and putting Latino communities at increased risk as extreme weather becomes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/2024\/10\/12\/us-disaster-funding-cost-climate-change\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">more frequent, costly, and deadly<\/a>.

The votes will determine one final, collective color that symbolizes Latino climate leadership and will serve as the campaign\u2019s central visual identity across all platforms.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPublic opinion is key to protecting and advancing climate action, which benefits all of us.
