GreenLatinos will continue to fight for full passage of BBBA

GreenLatinos advocates for the immediate passage of the Build Back Better Act (BBBA), arguing that the legislation is essential for providing climate justice, clean energy infrastructure, and water security to disproportionately affected Latino and Indigenous communities. The organization specifically calls on Senator Joe Manchin and Colorado Senators Hickenlooper and Bennett to support the bill's provisions on coastal restoration, lead removal from drinking water, and sustainable transportation.

• GreenLatinos asserts that the Build Back Better Act contains essential provisions for fighting climate change, improving water infrastructure, and implementing coastal restoration to mitigate sea-level rise and severe weather.
• The organization highlights the bill's potential to address public health crises in Latino communities by removing lead from contaminated drinking water and ensuring affordable water access for those economically impacted by the pandemic.
• The BBBA is viewed as a critical mechanism for transitioning to a sustainable energy and transportation future, which would create jobs and protect populations from the harms associated with fossil fuels.
• In Colorado, Latino and Indigenous communities are identified as experiencing direct negative impacts on their health, economy, and environment, leading to calls for Senators Hickenlooper and Bennett to continue negotiations for the bill.
