Join the fight for Environmental Justice in our communities!
Environmental Justice is the right to a decent, safe quality of life for people of all races, incomes and cultures in the environments where we live, work, play, learn and pray.
COPAL’s vision is to create a powerful Latinx environmental justice voice that is living and working in a thriving environment. We ALL deserve a dignified life in a thriving environment, and a relationship grounded in reciprocity with nature.
Together, we are building leadership and the possibility for a better present and future. Our work addresses the root causes of forced migration due to climate change and extractive economies, green jobs, pollution reduction and an equitable transition to clean energy.
