About Lucía
I am a Maya K’iche’ woman, part of one of Guatemala’s largest Indigenous groups. I am an artist, cultural manager, singer, community journalist, and architect, born in Totonicapán, Guatemala. As a pioneer in art and the climate crisis (since 2012), I have been an activist in art and culture since the age of 11.
My activism and work in journalism in defence of our territory intensified after the massacre on 4 October 2012, at the Alaska Summit, when the Guatemalan army attacked the Indigenous people of Totonicapán. I also served as a leader in the student movement at the public university, becoming the first Indigenous woman to represent my faculty.
Currently, I am the Indigenous Coordinator of BILM and the international advocacy coordinator for Festivales Solidarios. I have been in exile since 2021 due to the judicial dictatorship in Guatemala.

Climate Justice
Camila Jaber Mexico
I’m 28-years-old, born on the Gulf of Mexico and raised in the Caribbean. I studied a degree focused on water resources, but I found my community and my path in collective activism, supporting territorial defence in the Yucatán Peninsula from an urban perspective.
Climate Justice
Mitzy Cortés Mexico
I am a Mixtec woman (an Indigenous group from the Oaxaca region of Mexico) from Tecomaxtlahuaca, Oaxaca. I am part of the Indigenous Futures Network and Kueñaá Ña’a Tsika Mujeres que Caminan, where I work alongside Indigenous women and youth to defend our territories and bodies.
Climate change is a justice issue
Those who have the least political and economic power, and the least responsibility for the changing climate, are affected the most.
CEPAD
We partner with CEPAD in Nicaragua to empower seven communities in Teustepe with the skills, knowledge and community resilience required to address their own problems.
Once In A Lifetime
A short social-friendly snippet from Amos Trust’s Once In A Lifetime climate justice summit in Cambridge when we were joined by climate activists, thinkers and doers.
Donate
We support rural communities in Nicaragua through our partner CEPAD but we can’t do it without your help. Every penny goes to supporting those most affected by climate change.
