Mariposas Poderosas: Unpacking our Feelings

Gather round the kitchen table, or imagine a warm conversation on the front porch. That’s the feeling at the heart of Abuelas en Acción: A Multicultural Podcast for Our Common Good. Here, Latinx mothers and grandmothers, known as Climate Comadres, host a space where wisdom isn’t just shared-it’s put into practice. These are dialogues that deliberately cross generations, featuring guests and community leaders whose entire lives are fueled by a passion for justice. Each episode is built on the understanding that real change often starts with a story, a vision held close by someone who decided to act. You’ll hear from those people. While the roots are in environmental and climate justice, the conversations naturally branch into the interconnected issues of racial and social equity that shape our neighborhoods. Every week, a new 30-minute interview offers a specific, grounded look at how compassion and equity are being fought for on the ground. This isn’t about abstract ideas; it’s about the tangible work being done to build a better world. Tuning into this podcast means listening to experiences that refuel your sense of possibility, offering not just analysis but a genuine infusion of hope you can carry back into your own community’s struggles and triumphs. It’s a reminder that the drive for a fairer society is alive, well, and often guided by the most steadfast among us.
