The Campaign for Thriving Salton Sea Communities
The Campaign for Thriving Salton Sea Communities is focused on improving the quality of life and economic opportunities for the residents in the Coachella Valley and Imperial Valley. Drawing from our deep and diverse roots in the region, Alianza Coachella Valley, with partners Lideres Campesinas, Loma Linda University, Sierra Club, and Coachella Valley parents, convene stakeholders and organize community voices to uplift the needs of our region and accelerate solutions. We lead a coalition of mission-aligned residents, nonprofits, researchers, and civic leaders committed to creating the conditions that make it possible to have a more vibrant and prosperous Salton Sea region.
We are working to build thriving Salton Sea communities through…
- Introducing multi-benefit infrastructure that is responsive to community needs and demonstrates an innovative approach to addressing climate issues facing our region.
- Conducting community science to produce publicly available data and inform solutions to the challenges of the receding Salton Sea and improve health outcomes for residents.
- Working to ensure regional economies are connected, creating the conditions for the region to be more successful in attracting public and private investments that benefit all of us.
