Latino Outdoors

In case you missed it: “Latino Outdoors celebrates the passage of the EXPLORE Act and the Senate’s Outdoor Recreation Package as a major victory for equitable access to the outdoors. These historic measures represent an important step toward ensuring that our comunidades, especially those that have been historically excluded, can now have an opportunity to experience the benefits of nature and outdoor recreation. By breaking down barriers to access and investing in outdoor education, these policies support the outdoors as a space for healing, joy, and leadership. At Latino Outdoors, we remain committed to fostering connection and belonging in the outdoors for all. Together, we can build a more inclusive and just future that invites everyone to EXPLORE the wonders of our natural spaces.” - Latino Outdoors Policy Advocate, Jazzari Taylor The passage of the EXPLORE Act demonstrates that people can still figure out how to work together on important issues. This bill ensures millions of kids, families and veterans will benefit from more accessible outdoor spaces and recreation opportunities. 🙌🏽

Progress towards a more diverse environmental sector has not only stalled, it’s reversing. For the first time in the history of Green 2.0’s Transparency Report Card, the percentage of full-time staff of color has decreased. We need the unique and valuable insights of those most affected by climate change to successfully address environmental issues. Failing to include, value, and keep these people at their workplaces will only hinder progress within the environmental sector. Read the full 2024 Transparency Report at bit.ly/2024-TR
