Climate crisis and its effects on Latino families. 2025 will go down in history as a year of record heat and warming, in which extreme and devastating weather events continued to multiply. The climate crisis is already here, yet civil leaders denounce the Trump administration for cutting disaster relief programs and calling for the dissolution of FEMA. In addition, in 2025, federal energy policies have blocked a number of clean energy projects and favored investment in the oil industry. How have these policies impacted Latino families and communities this year in terms of their safety, health, work, and economy? An environmental advocate offers an assessment of 2025. This program includes details on the damage caused by extreme weather conditions currently affecting the United States, especially in the east and west coast regions.

Guests: Luis Sanchez Armas, National Press Secretary, Climate Power in Action, Madison, WI; Jose Lopez Zamorano, Correspondent, Washington, DC; Alejandro Maciel, Reporter, Los Angeles, CA.
