America the Beautiful For All — Wednesday, October 19, 7-8:30 pm: Join Mariana Del Valle Prieto Cervantes, Director of Strategic Initiatives at GreenLatinos, to learn about this powerful new coalition that reflects the diversity of America and centers the voices of people of color working to conserve 30% of our public lands, waters, and ocean by 2030. The political power necessary to accomplish the twin goals of conservation and environmental justice rests entirely on our ability to shift power, grow, and cultivate a united environmental community that truly represents America. We are stronger and more effective when we work together.

The America the Beautiful for All Coalition‘s Twin Goals:

• Conserve at least 30% of land, water, and ocean by 2030 to avoid massive species loss, secure equitable access to nature’s benefits, and prevent and repair the impacts of the climate crisis for all communities.
• Implement a Justice40 metric for the America the Beautiful Initiative to ensure at least 40% of investments are made in communities of color and frontline communities that have historically seen little to no investment in conservation and equitable access to nature.

VIRTUAL. Tickets $10-$15. Email eliza.cava@anshome.org for complimentary tickets if needed.
