EcoMadres is a national community of parents and caregivers acting together to protect the health of Latino families from air pollution and climate change.

We educate and empower our members to use their voices to reach lawmakers and demand equitable solutions that protect our children’s health.

EcoMadres recognize that Latinos often live and work in frontline communities disproportionately exposed to harmful air pollution, climate change, and toxic chemicals, which is why we collectively pursue environmental justice with a passion.

Through engaging in-person and online cafecitos, EcoMadres bring Latino families together for uplifting yet impactful conversation about how we make lasting change in our communities.

Climate Change and Latinos

Climate change has a tremendous impact on the health, livelihoods, and overall well-being of Latinos in the United States. Latinos bear a disproportionate burden from climate impacts because of where they live and work and the type of work they do. Additionally, Latinos are concerned about climate change in significantly larger numbers than the general population of the United States.

68% of Latinos

in the U.S. live in areas
that do not meet federal air
quality standards

Latino Children

are 60% more at risk of
having asthma attacks
exacerbated by air pollution

1.81 million

Latinos live within
one half mile of existing
oil and gas facilities
