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.

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.
The Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024, introduced by Senators Joe Manchin and John Barrasso, seeks to expedite energy transmission projects at the expense of critical environmental and public health protections. This bill, backed by fossil fuel interests, threatens to fast-track fossil fuel and mining waste projects, reduce transparency, and open public lands to oil and gas leasing while lifting essential pauses on liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.
Fill out this action alert to urge your senators to reject this legislation and support energy transmission infrastructure that protects our health, safety, and future.
