We are excited to invite you to Raíces y Futuro: Celebrating Latine Conservation and Climate Justice, an event that embodies the spirit of Latino Conservation Week: Disfrutando y Conservando Nuestra Tierra—an initiative of the Hispanic Access Foundation that shines a spotlight on the Latine community’s strong conservation values. Latino Conservation Week is a national week of activities and engagement from Saturday, September 14, 2024, through Sunday, September 22, 2024.
In collaboration with the California Center for Climate Change Education, Nature Nexus Institute, and Latine community leaders, we are bringing together an inspiring event highlighting our cultural heritage and the forward-thinking leadership that drives conservation and climate justice today.
Event Highlights
Nature Walk: Observe the beauty of California native plants and wildlife at West LA College Campus!
Panel Discussion: Engage with Latine climate and conservation professionals as they share insights on elevating Latine voices, advocating for change, and inspiring the next generation of change-makers.
Workshops: Participate in interactive sessions on clean energy, camping 101, sustainability goals, community healing, and career pathways
Resource Booths, DJ, Folklorico Performances, Food, and a Raffle!
This event is more than just a gathering; it's a call to action, a celebration of our gente, and a platform to inspire and create thriving Latine communities. We invite you to be part of this movement, to learn, connect, and contribute to a future where our voices are heard, and our environment is protected.
