Protégete is a program that builds a more powerful and influential voice for local Latino communities and leaders in the fight against climate change by promoting a healthy future for all Coloradans.

Protégete means “protect yourself!” Many Coloradans are underrepresented in protecting themselves from the impacts of climate change. Protégete empowers and organizes the Latino community to take action on the dangers that climate change presents to our communities. The program also highlights actions that our community can support at the local, state, and national level to ensure that we are sitting at the table of the decision making process on issues like clean energy and energy efficiency, increased access to public lands, and water conservation and water quality.

This work continues in 2018 on an unprecedented scale and you can be a part of it! Latino communities suffer disproportionate impacts from pollution, including increased rates of asthma and respiratory disease. We reach out to communities and foster leadership to build a strong voice for Latino families for clean air, healthy communities, and a safe climate for future generations.
