 Lobos for Environmental Justice is a joint initiative developed by Feleecia Guillen in collaboration with UNM Leaders for Environmental Action and Foresight and the Associated Students of the University of New Mexico. The campaign seeks to embed environmental justice into campus climate action by building student power and demanding institutional accountability. As part of this effort, Feleecia launched UNM’s first climate justice-focused publication, the Lobos for Environmental Justice Newsletter, authored and passed ASUNM Resolution 2S urging the university to formally acknowledge the climate emergency, and created a public petition to grow support across campus and the wider community for this demand. The initiative also organized student-led events and educational workshops, including the EJ Corner at the Sustainability Expo and Earth Week programming. Through storytelling, organizing, and policy advocacy, Lobos for Environmental Justice has established a lasting platform to uplift frontline, Indigenous, and student voices in the fight for a just and equitable climate future at UNM.
