Changing Course
A project rooted in environmental awareness, community leadership, and meaningful local action.
Changing Course is an initiative led by Mujeres Latinas of South Carolina to engage, empower, and elevate the Latinx community in local climate action.
Rooted in our commitment to environmental equity, social justice, and civic participation, the project creates opportunities for community members to help shape decisions that affect their health, environment, and future.
Real people. Local solutions. Lasting change.
