Mission
Poder Latinx mobilizes Latinx communities to take action in defense of "la madre tierra." Our collective aim is to pave the way for a sustainable future that benefits all. At the heart of our mission is the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act (BIF). We recognize these legislative initiatives' pivotal role in advancing our environmental goals.
