About Chispa
Who Are We?
Chispa (“spark” in Spanish) is LCV‘s community organizing program to engage, elevate, and build the power of Latino and low-income communities of color in the fight against climate change. The program soul is grassroots community organizing that engages Latino families and other communities of color around local climate and environmental justice issues.
The Chispa approach ensures that communities’ political power is seen, heard and felt by decision-maker across the nation and in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Maryland and Texas, where Chispa programs are now active.
Our Mission
As a program of the League of Conservation Voters and LCV Education Fund, Chispa’s mission is to build the power of low-income communities of color across the country to achieve climate justice, community health, and environmental protections while fighting for accountability from polluters and decision-makers.
Chispa envisions a world where everyone, including and especially low-income communities of color, can enjoy clean air, clean water, open space and parks, and the security of knowing that our planet can sustain us today and for future generations.
