Abuelas en Acción (Grandmothers in Action) are Latinx mothers and grandmothers, Climate Comadres, who strive for a more compassionate and equitable world. Our conversations cross generations with guests, leaders in our communities, who have a passion for justice. Their stories and work all started with a vision and will infuse you with hope for your own communities. Subscribe to hear a new, 30 minute interview each week on topics– racial, social and environmental justice and physical/emotional/spiritual wellbeing–-that will touch your soul and challenge the leader in you to change the world. Hosts: Marie Dahlstrom, Dr. Rosemary Celaya-Alston and Consuelo Saragoza spent their careers promoting social justice for our common good…and will never stop! “Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.” Dolores Huerta
