Overview
The League of Conservation Voters Education Fund has launched a national Latino engagement program. The program seeks to create a "home base" for Latinos who care about climate and clean energy issues--an effort that will simultaneously diversify and strengthen the environmental movement. LCVEF will focus the program in three to four states where there are potentially influential Latino populations, starting with Colorado. The Colorado program will identify and engage Latinos on clean air, clean energy, and climate change issues in order to create an atmosphere within the state in which decision-makers at many levels are supported in adopting polities that reduce global warming pollution.

Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
The League of Conservation Voters Education Fund works to turn environmental values into national, state, and local priorities. In collaboration with its state partners, the fund advocates for strong environmental protections, organizes communities to speak up about their environmental values and engages people in the democratic process in order to enact strong environmental laws. The fund also works to support robust implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act; ambitious environmental regulations; and the full realization of the Justice40 Initiative, which aims to deliver 40% of benefits from federal climate investments to under-invested communities.
