Impact Report 2025

GreenLatinos' 2025 Impact Report details a year of advocacy against federal environmental rollbacks and the implementation of community-led resilience projects. Key achievements include securing $10B in Proposition 4 funds in California, passing the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act in Illinois, and managing over $30 million in funding for urban forestry and community grants. The organization mobilized over 250 environmental justice organizations to respond to EPA rollbacks and expanded its 'Climate Lotería' project to combat Spanish-language climate disinformation. Its Urban Greening Initiative diverted over 611,000 pounds of organic waste and planted hundreds of trees across Chicago, Los Angeles, and Albuquerque.

• GreenLatinos provided rapid-response infrastructure for more than 250 environmental justice organizations to oppose EPA rollbacks under the Trump Administration.
• The organization's Justicia y Equidad Fund managed $30.2 million, which included supporting 30 partners in planting 2,399 trees and inventorying over 19,000 trees via a USDA Urban & Community Forestry Grant.
• In California, the organization helped secure full funding for the Historic Preservation Fund and the release of $10 billion from Proposition 4 environmental bond funds.
• Legislative victories in Illinois included the passage of the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act to lower electricity bills and the Northern Illinois Transportation Authority Act, which prevented a 40% cut in transit services.
• The Urban Greening Initiative in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Albuquerque diverted 611,306+ pounds of organic waste and avoided 161.22 tons of CO2e emissions annually.
• In New Mexico, the organization successfully passed water discharge protections and the Clean Horizon Act regarding greenhouse gas emissions, while blocking the shifting of fracking waste costs to taxpayers.
