Where people live and work can influence health in ways that extend far beyond medical care. This policy toolkit from UCLA’s Latino Policy and Politics Institute examines how extreme heat is affecting Latino communities in California’s Central Valley, where residents often face overlapping environmental, occupational, and housing-related challenges.
Drawing on community input and regional data, the report highlights disparities in heat exposure, tree canopy coverage, workplace conditions, and health outcomes. It also outlines practical policy recommendations to improve community resilience, strengthen worker protections, expand outreach through trusted community organizations, and reduce the health risks associated with rising temperatures.
The Latino Data Hub, created by the UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Institute (LPPI), is a free, bilingual platform offering accessible, disaggregated data about our diverse Latino communities. Among its ten issue areas, the section on health insurance is especially powerful, showing how equitable access to coverage is essential for better health outcomes, economic stability, and the well-being of our families. By providing these insights, the Hub equips us—as advocates, researchers, and community leaders—with the data we need to advance health equity and culturally responsive solutions.
Explore the Latino Data Hub—now upgraded with new features, tutorials, and guides.
Successful advocacy relies on a deep understanding of the legal or legislative policies that impact our cause. Members of The Latino Cancer Institute are given the opportunity to discuss and dissect, develop and debate policy and positions that can further or hinder our work. We expect our strength in numbers and united voices to hold sway with lawmakers who must answer to the 60 million Latinos in this country. We show up informed and ready to take a seat at the national table to be heard, understood, and ready to take part in any proposed policy that affects our community.
