About Me

The Southwest Network for Environmental and Economic Justice exists to bring together activists and grassroots organizations from across the Southwest, West and border states of Mexico. Our purpose is to develop and broaden collective regional strategies and perspectives on environmental degradation and other social, racial, generational, economic, and gender injusticies. The Southwest Network recognizes the direct link between economic and environmental issues. As indigenous people and people of color, we recognize that the demand for a safe, clean environment and workplace can only be achieved by building a multiracial, multicultural, multigenerational, and international movement with gender equality that promotes environmental and economic justice. Furthermore, sustainable economic development alternatives must be defined by the communities most impacted by these policies.The Southwest Network supports the struggle for sovereignty of indigenous people and tribes. We affirm our spirituality and our holistic oneness with Mother Earth.

My Interests

The deconstruction of racism, sexism, and classism. People who want to stop the destruction of Mother Earth, our way of life, traditions, and our families.

I'd like to meet:
