We believe clean, affordable, and equitable solutions are now available to improve the environmental health and quality of life of all communities, especially the ones most vulnerable to global warming.

Our Mission

Sachamama works to build a clean energy economy for all and cultivate sustainable attitudes, behaviors, and lifestyles. Through media engagement strategies and community-led climate solutions, we are informing and activating individuals to advocate for healthy more resilient communities, while developing a  nurturing movement that supports self-exploration, diversity, and civic participation.

President of the Board

This was a very important year for Sachamama. Our planet came to a complete stop and many in the Latino community started to question the relationship that we have with nature, this is a perfect opportunity to recreate this broken relationship with mother earth and create one that is sustainable, healthy, and fair for all. Today, more than ever, Sachamama’s work is essential to the climate movement.

Goal 1

Increase Communications on Climate Issues

Despite the improvement of the quality and quantity of media climate coverage, outlets continue to face significant shortcomings when covering the climate crisis, especially when targeting the Latinx audience. Current climate reporting continues to be conducted through a political filter and is not representative of the magnitude and severity of the problem, even as the crisis continues to worsen. There is underreporting of extreme events, climate science, climate and racial justice, social and economic
benefits of climate solutions, and decisionmakers continue to refuse to treat the climate emergency as an urgent issue with practical solutions.

Latinos por la Tierra

Bringing climate change to the forefront of mainstream conversations.

This year, we continue leveraging our communications expertise, the support of media partnerships, and a growing network of Latinx influencers to secure airtime, drive headlines, and develop media campaigns to connect the realities, concerns, and interests of our communities to available climate solutions. From sustainable tips to pledging for a clean economy, we informed and empowered individuals to take individual climate actions.

Through it all, we produced three campaigns (state, national, international), reached people in 10 countries, and recorded over 60M campaign impressions.

Goal 2

Create a New Generation of Climate Activist

After working with over 50 different groups in seven states, we have identified a common theme that plays an important role when trying to effectively engage Latinx communities. Repeatedly, groups – with best intentions – come in to help communities with their immediate needs, but they often failed to address the deeper structures and mental models that continue to keep the community in need.

Climate Innovation Lab (CIL)

Educating communities through local action!

To tackle this challenge, we launched our CIL curriculum, a 6-week climate solutions incubator that empowers participants to build healthy, more resilient communities. Through participatory learning processes we tap into communities’ knowledge, help address some of the systemic challenges they face, determine community assets, and bring forward community-led climate solutions from within the community.

The Nature Conservancy

In Sachamama, The Nature Conservancy found a meaningful and purposeful partnership that supported an urgent endeavor: How to practice sustained, culturally respectful, and effective engagement with Latinx organizations for fire adaptation, preparedness, and resilience. Sachamama built trust, robust public participation, and a culturally respectful curriculum that built Latinx leadership for Living with Fire.

Participating in the Climate Innovation Lab has been very rewarding. It brings different generations of people to learn and work together to create a healthy, resilient and sustainable environment and ensures that the Latinx community is informed, engaged, and are an integral part of taking care of our earth.

Nuestra Casa

Sachamama and their Climate Innovation Lab Program created lots of opportunities for our students and Nuestra Casa. Our students stepped into their leadership skills and became a resource for other community members.
We continue spreading environmental awareness through our Ciclo Verde Cohorts and our new leaders. Thanks to this project we were prepared for the hazardous air quality and fires that we are facing in the Yakima Valley.

Goal 3

Build Public Support for a Sustainable Economy

Communities are growing ever more concerned about climate change, and more aligned on solutions. Climate advocates are working hard to keep our planet stable, but they need a larger and more diverse climate constituency to ensure their success, Latinos are critical.

Digital Communications

Bringing climate change to the forefront of mainstream conversations

Communications and marketing are absolutely essential to grow our impact as an organization and as a movement. The reality is that our ability to bring new voices to the climate conversation relies heavily on our storytelling capabilities and the different platforms we utilized to reach wider audiences.

Since our inception, our team helped raise the message of climate action, diversity, and civic participation in our Latinx communities. Through e-books, videos, testimonials, campaigns, and posts, we have inspired 
communities to raise their voices and take climate action!

Carlos Zegarra

Executive Director

Sachamama

This was an important year for us in Sachamama. Thanks to you and all our partners, we were able to inform millions of people on our climate emergency, supported real local solutions, developed community leadership, and built the necessary connections for a more diverse and stronger climate movement. As 2019 ends, I am filled with pride for the work we led, and I am excited about the opportunities ahead.

 

I am personally grateful for all the experiences, opportunities, teachings, and relationships we built over the course of this year. More than ever, I believe another world is possible. One, where diversity is celebrated, individual actions are the engine of change, and where we all come together to honor and cherish our common home, the Pachamama.

 

In Gratitude.
