Justicia Juntos (Justice Together) is a new initiative that will increase heat resiliency in disproportionately affected, Latino-dominant communities of Tucson, Arizona. Justicia Juntos will develop a youth climate coalition, train Latino climate advocates, and build two Climate Resilience Hubs to provide safe spaces for residents to cool down, build connections, and access resources. Project partners include the Arizona, Center for Empowerment, Living United for Change (LUCHA Arizona), and Chispa Arizona, and City of Tucson Mayor, Regina Romero.
