EMPOWERING LATINX COMMUNITIeS FOR A SAFE CLIMATE IN ARIZONA

Discover our mission to amplify latinx voices and safeguard Arizona’s environment for generations to come! 

Championing Environmental Justice

We are dedicated to empowering Latinx communities to influence policy, protect natural resources, and combat climate change

Through grassroots advocacy and community engagement, we strive for clean air, safe water, and healthy neighborhoods for the communities worst impacted by the detrimental impacts of climate change. Join the environmental justice movement to build a more sustainable and equitable future for generations to come.

OUR MISSION

Chispa Arizona is organizing within our Latinx communities to grow political power and civic engagement for environmental justice in Arizona, as a program of the League of Conservation Voters.

OUR VISION

01
Communities that enjoy clean air and water, open spaces and parks, and the security of knowing that our planet can sustain us today and for future generations.
02
A democracy in which all people have the opportunity to choose who will represent them, and those representatives are accountable to all their constituents. Participating in our democracy should be easy and accessible.
03

A strong and powerful environmental movement that reflects the values, priorities and leadership of Latinx communities, low-income families, and communities of color.

our voices matter

Latinos make up 30% of Arizona’s population and, along with low-income and other communities of color, are disproportionately affected by the climate crisis. We must ensure that Latinx families and leaders have a strong voice in the policies that impact our communities and are directly engaged where climate decisions are made. 
We grow our communities’ power by providing the organizing tools, connection and leadership opportunities necessary to take action on local and national environmental issues that matter to us.
