Recently, more than 40 people graduated from our Leadership SALTA at our office in Tijuana. Half of them are female community members, mothers, who are pushing environmental issue forward; the group also included activists, journalists, and community members from throughout Tijuana committed to systematically pursuing sustainable development for the city.

We are pleased to have been able to host this SALTA training in the Chilpancingo community, since we had not been able to do so since 2007. We are beyond happy to have been able to do this, because it connects us, it keeps us linked to the community and allies, and it makes us stronger and deepens and widens our roots.

We now have the opportunity to grow and continue meeting to keep working for environmental justice in the communities that need it most.
