From the Río Grande to the San Antonio River, our communities deserve the tools, training, and support to organize for clean water, healthy neighborhoods, and environmental justice.

At River Rally in San Antonio, Mark Magaña shared why investing in community leadership across the U.S. is critical to protecting our rivers, advancing advocacy, and building people-powered change rooted in culture, equity, and action.

When frontline communities are equipped to organize, we all move closer to water justice and a healthier future. 💧✊🏽

Water is life. Across Texas, Latino communities are leading the fight to protect our rivers, aquifers, and public water systems through organizing, advocacy, and community power. From the Gulf Coast to the borderlands, our communities are defending the future for the next generation. 💧🌎✊🏽

Gas prices are rising, our air is being polluted, and Latino communities in California are feeling it most. But there's a better way forward.

Electric vehicles can save families up to $2,000 a year on gas, and mean fewer asthma attacks, lower medical bills, and cleaner neighborhoods. California has the power to make clean transportation accessible for everyone, but we need state leaders to act.

Tell your state leaders to support affordable EVs and clean air investments for our communities. 👇

🌞From the Texas Gulf Coast to the fracking fields of Colorado, communities are rising together to demand a future rooted in public health, environmental justice, and accountability.

Last month in Houston, our Texas partners coalition came together to confront CERAWeek, one of the largest gatherings of oil and gas executives and political insiders in the world. While corporate leaders met behind closed doors to discuss profits and expansion, organizers, workers, students, Indigenous leaders, and frontline residents gathered outside to tell the truth about what these industries are doing to our air, water, climate, and communities.

From refinery pollution along the Gulf Coast, to methane leaks in North Texas, to the impacts of fracking across Colorado and the Southwest, our struggles are deeply connected. Communities across the country are experiencing the same pattern: corporate profit placed over people’s health and safety.

We were honored to have Ean Thomas Tafoya, our Vice Chair of State Programs, join us in Texas to connect directly with our members, coalition partners, and frontline advocates. His visit reminded us that this work extends far beyond one city or one state. GreenLatinos continues building power through state programs and partnerships across the country, organizing communities, developing leaders, and pushing for bold environmental policies that center working families and historically underserved communities.

This movement belongs to all of us. Whether you’re organizing in Texas, Colorado, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Illinois, or beyond, there is a place for you in this fight.

Join our movement. Support frontline organizing. Help us build a better future for all of us!

While fossil fuel executives and energy lobbyists gathered at CERAWeek to shape the future of Texas energy, communities across our state continue paying the price.

Latino communities in Texas are disproportionately exposed to air pollution, extreme heat, industrial contamination, and dangerous petrochemical expansion. Many of the neighborhoods closest to refineries, gas infrastructure, highways, and toxic facilities are working-class Black and Brown communities already facing higher rates of asthma and other health impacts.

Texas leads the nation in oil and gas production — but too many families are still struggling with rising utility costs, poor air quality, flooding, and failing infrastructure during extreme weather events. Communities from the Gulf Coast to North Texas are demanding investments in public health, clean energy, worker protections, and environmental accountability instead of more corporate giveaways.

Last month, we showed up at CERAWeek to challenge the industry narrative and uplift the voices of frontline Texans fighting for clean air, safe water, and a livable future.
