Leading la Lucha for Environmental Justice | Mark Magaña, Founding President, GreenLatinos

On this special Madre Tierra episode, host Antonio Tijerino welcomes visionary advocate for environmental justice, Mark Magaña.

As the Founding President & CEO of GreenLatinos, Mark has led the charge against climate change's disproportionate impact on our community since 2012. From heatwaves in Texas to hurricanes in Puerto Rico, Latinos across the United States and beyond are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. But despite the challenges, Mark refuses to back down.

Through GreenLatinos, he ignites hope by nurturing a robust national network of Latino environmental and conservation advocates, fostering a culture of collaboration and collective action.

On the pod, we’ll hear more about Mark’s journey, what GreenLatinos has planned, and explore the role of climate change and environmental racism now and in the future. We’ll also take a look at what’s happening in the environmental policy space and what needs to happen.
