General Description:

The League of Conservation Voters Education Fund ("LCVEF"), a non-profit organization, builds grassroots power to protect people and the planet. We envision a world in which tackling the climate crisis, confronting environmental injustice, and strengthening our democracy lead to cleaner and healthier communities, good, well-paying jobs, and a more just, equitable, and sustainable planet for all.

For more than 50 years, LCVEF has fought for solutions to the interconnected threats our environment and democracy face. We do so by expanding voter participation, advocating for policy change, engaging in public education, mobilizing, organizing, and building grassroots power in communities, and partnering with and supporting our 30+ state affiliates across the country.

Chispa, a program of LCVEF, works to ensure that Latine communities and leaders have a strong voice in the movement for climate justice and within the environmental movement and influence the environmental policies and decisions that impact our health and environment. Chispa has programs in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Nevada and Texas.

Chispa Nevada has been working with Latine communities across the state since 2015, primarily in Clark County, and has recently expanded localized efforts into Washoe County. We are working to build a robust movement of Nevadans on the ground that can lead the Chispa Nevada program toward our mission of protecting our communities and environment, and defending our democracy.
