Amigos Bravos builds leadership and capacity for the future in individuals and communities to protect waters in their own backyards.
Amigos Bravos empowers individuals and communities to protect and restore the waters in their own backyards through educational outreach, hands-on trainings, technical assistance, and coalition-building – each of which generates leadership for future campaigns.
To meet the threats to our health and the health of our rivers and waters, Amigos Bravos has embarked on a full-scale assault against both local polluters and the federal administration’s rule changes. The key components of this effort are broad-based engagement of affected communities, carefully planned and targeted public and media outreach campaigns, youth education and outreach, and strong advocacy efforts in the New Mexico legislature, the state courts, and Congress.
