Join the Environmental Justice Movement in Tejas

We are fighting for an inclusive and healthy future for Tejanos to have access to clean air and water, healthy neighborhoods, and a safe climate for generations to come.

Justice

We lead our work through an environmental justice lens that includes racial, social and economic justice. We believe in centering Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and communities of color who are most harmed by racism and xenophobia.

Transformational Approach

We believe our community deserves to live with dignity. We need transformational, systemic change to create a world that is equitable, inclusive and just.

Health Equity

We believe our community deserves to live in a clean environment with equitable and affordable access to a safe environment for our niños.

About Us

Building Tejano power to fight for climate justice.

Chispa Texas is a program of the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) and League of Conservation Voters Education Fund (LCVEF) focused on building Latino power in Texas to combat the climate crisis, including fighting for our communities’ health and holding both lawmakers and polluters accountable. Our community organizing and civic engagement efforts are focused on uplifting the environmental movement in Texas with new leaders, increased voter participation, accountability for elected officials, and people-centered policy solutions.

Issues

Curious about where we channel our resources?

We’re focused on addressing the most urgent social and environmental issues facing the Latinx and low-income people of color communities disproportionately suffering the effects of air pollution.

Climate Justice

We’re committed to striving for solutions that confront the legacy of environmental injustices that disproportionately impact communities of color.

Clean Air

In Texas our communities’ health is constantly exposed to pollution and toxins exacerbated by inequities in the healthcare system. We must fight decades of environmental racism and pressure polluters to protect our communities’ right to clean air.

Building Grassroots Power

We’re committed to organizing communities to use the power of their voice to directly influence policymakers, pressure corporate polluters, and fight for climate justice.

Protecting Our Democracy

We strongly believe that the long-term health of our planet is inextricably linked with the health of our democracy. A free, fair, and equitable political process is essential to advancing protections that are critical to our health, our environment and future generations.
