Hello Readers!

We hope you’re having a wonderful summer, enjoying time with your family and friends!

Here at Levanta Tu Voz, our team has been on a summer road trip, meeting with Latinos across the state to hear how California’s energy policies are affecting them. From the Mid-State Fair in Paso Robles, to the L.A. Latino Chamber Business Expo in Pomona, we’ve heard from hundreds of you, and your message is clear: California’s energy policies must be fair for Latinos!

We’re excited to highlight some of your stories on our YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/@LevantaTuVozWSPA. There, you’ll hear directly from a wide range of business owners and employees about their concerns with how California’s aggressive energy policies impact our businesses, our livelihood, and our community.

We encourage you to watch these videos. If they inspire you to raise your voice, follow these three simple steps to ensure your elected officials understand your needs and hear your concerns:

1.    Go to Join Us on the LTV website

2.    Submit a short message telling legislators about your concerns

3.    Record or upload a short video of photo of yourself

From there, we’ll make sure your elected officials hear what you have to say.

Next month, our summer road trip continues through Central and Northern California. We’ll meet with more Latino business owners, employees, and families to listen to their concerns and tell their stories. We look forward to sharing what they have to say.

Until then, thank you once again for your ongoing support. Your stories are not only inspiring us, but also encouraging other Latinos to raise their voices and demand energy solutions that are fair.

Visit us at www.levantatuvoz.org for more information and be sure to share with family and friends so they too can make their voices heard.

Cheers to you,

Argelia León

Levanta Tu Voz attended the California Mid-State Fair in Paso Robles and participated in the L.A. Latino Chamber of Commerce Biz Expo on July 24 in Pomona where we joined businesses and community leaders to discuss the future of energy and the importance of energy investments within disadvantaged communities.

New energy mandates in California will impact the businesses of countless Latinos. Levanta Tu Voz is commitment to listening and sharing the voices of Latino entrepreneurs like Darrel. Hear his story.

Levanta Tu Voz continues to meet with influential leaders to make sure they understand the impact of energy mandates on hardworking Latinos and Latino-owned businesses. From August 21-23, we will participate in the 45th California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce Statewide Convention in Bakersfield, California. Hope to see you there!
