Learn Over Lunch with United Latinos was recorded on December 11, 2024. Vincent Valdez, with United Latinos, discussed United Latinos’ Green Team Environmental Justice Program in Sacramento.
Speaker: Vincent Valdez, United Latinos
About United Latinos Green Team: Since it was founded in 2016, United Latinos’ Green Team has taken a full-spectrum approach to fighting for environmental justice solutions in Sacramento. United Latino’s equity-first strategy centers on the needs of marginalized communities because we know that these communities are often left out of the conversation despite being the most affected by the current climate crisis. United Latinos’ goal to increase environmental equity in disadvantaged areas has shaped their work at every level. United Latinos’ Green Team has several key programs, including tree planting, air quality monitoring, education and outreach, and distributing air filters to residents of low-income neighborhoods.
