Mujeres de la Tierra is an Environmental non-profit founded in 2004. Mujeres de la Tierra inspires the healing of La Madre Tierra by working to build grassroots community leadership and capacity among historically unrecognized communities, especially with immigrants, and/or communities of color. We firmly believe in the power of one. Our engagement efforts are created through a culturally relevant lens. We provide tools of empowerment by using facts, data, and science. We are connected to the community through local residents' input, platicas, listening sessions, and other means of interactive communication.
Mujeres has learned that successful events occur when they both entertain, educate and reflect the community voice. Our two community Dia de los Muertos annual events have become a tradition in the Northeast Los Angeles neighborhoods. Both the procession and altar art installation involves families and community partners. Our goal is to include all who wish to participate and enjoy our main events. Mujeres believes every opportunity should be used to strengthen community life, inspire a green ethic and learn from those participating with us.
Our Projects
Mujeres de la Tierra creates and designs projects and programs based on community needs and concerns. Our work is designed with a Relevant Cultural lens, developing a thorough field assessment and focused listening during our platicas. When mujeres works in a community we do not impose our thoughts, ideas, or opinions. We provide facts, science, and data so they can determine the best outcome for their neighborhood and family.
