At Chispa Arizona, we build the capacity of Latinx families to influence policymakers and pressure polluters to protect communities’ rights to clean air and water, healthy neighborhoods, and a safe climate for generations to come.
As a program of the League of Conservation Voters, we are working towards a strong and powerful Environmental Justice Movement for clean air, climate action, protection of public lands, the defense of our democracy and community power.
Public lands belong to the people and we must work to preserve and protect them for future generations.
Our communities have an inherent and inalienable right to clean air. We are working towards a just transition to clean energy in Arizona.
We can’t have a healthy environment without a healthy democracy and as communities at the forefront of the climate crisis, we must ensure our voices are heard.
Our members are the heart of our movement. More than 300 people have joined the movement for Environmental Justice in Arizona and their stories guide our work. We are Earth Protectors!
Together, we can make a difference in our communities. Join one of our upcoming events to connect with Madre Tierra and other Earth Protectors.
The purpose of this training is to provide political education and tools to empower our community to get involved with our Comités. We have four Comités, each organizing around an intersectional aspect of environmental justice: Clean Air & Energy, Public Lands, Clean &. Green Campaign (heat mitigation) and Democracy.
Join Chispa Arizona’s Clean Air & Energy Comité in Phoenix on Sunday, April 11 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. for “Plantitas: Alternatives for your Health” At this event we will learn about different medicinal plants that help with respiratory health, inflammation, blood sugar management, digestive health, reduce anxiety and so much more.
In this workshop, we will be providing information on resources available to the community to prepare their homes and neighborhoods for the heat. Through the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR) program, qualifying Arizonans have the option to weatherize and electrify their home through a rebate program offered by the Governor’s Office of Resiliency.
