Alondra Morales Sanchez

Climate Justice Coordinator

Alondra is a first-generation Xicana with roots from the indigenous tribe Yaqui. Her parents immigrated to the US in their 20s looking for economic opportunities. Her background is in social science and research at Arizona State University, through which she learned about the intersectionality of colonization, mental health, and other concepts that have resulted in the economic and social state of the world, giving her context to her existence and the world around her. Her experience and desire to decolonize her mind led her to the movement space. She has been a life-long advocate about different issues ranging from gender equality, sweatshops, to fair redistricting, to climate change. After her work on redistricting in 2021, she knew that it was time to step into climate justice advocacy. Alondra is passionate about bridging the gap in environmentalism to include environmental justice for communities of color, and creating pathways for the community to get involved with the systems of power that impact climate issues.
