CLEAN AIR, CLEAN WATER, DEMOCRATIC CONTROL.
Let’s organize to win the El Paso we deserve. Become a member today.
WHO WE ARE
Amanecer People’s Project is a community advocacy and power building organization that aims to shift decision making power away from polluting elites and place it back in the hands of the community. Our goals as an organization are clean air, clean water, and community control of our resources.
We believe that the people closest to the problem are closest to the solution. APP organizes to change the conditions of what’s possible in El Paso. Organizing is fundamentally democratic; it relies on developing leaders to understand power, tell their stories, and determine our own future for the city.
WHAT WE DO
Our programs build on a base of activity that includes recent campaigns such as the Climate Charter (Proposition K)- a grassroots ballot initiative that sought to codify into municipal law ambitious goals that would advance climate justice in our community such as; reducing emissions, protecting our water from fossil fuel projects, and investing in renewables. The campaign gave us a platform to mobilize El Pasoans and grow a base that will continue to challenge the power and influence held by the fossil fuel industry.
We continue to be guided by equitable approaches to the climate crisis that redress the impacts of climate change that disproportionately fall on communities of color like ours. Amanecer People’s Project seeks to mobilize El Pasoans in favor of policies that prioritize our health, environmental integrity, racial and economic equity, restore democratic power, and work towards destabilizing the systems of power that produce climate injustice.
