Organizing for Environmental Justice with Andrea Vidaurre
On this episode of Tamarindo, we’re joined by Andrea Vidaurre, a Peruvian-American climate justice organizer and co-founder of the People’s Collective for Environmental Justice. Andrea was recently awarded the prestigious 2024 Goldman Environmental Prize for her groundbreaking work ensuring that frontline communities, especially those in Southern California’s Inland Empire—are heard in the fight against environmental racism and pollution caused by the warehousing and logistics industries. We dive into Andrea’s journey as an organizer, the roots of her activism, and how community-led efforts are reshaping environmental policy not just in California, but across the country. She shares what it means to challenge systems of power from within, how to find joy in resistance, and why organizing with and for your community is the most powerful force for change.
