Quintero started as an attorney in NRDC’s Environment and Health program litigating working on pesticides, toxic chemicals and safe drinking water, clean air, environmental justice, and US-Mexico border issues. Currently, she runs NRDC’s partner outreach and engagement efforts.
Quintero launched NRDC’s Latino outreach efforts in 2004 with the report, “Hidden Danger, Environmental Health Threats in the Latino Community,” which highlighted how environmental pollution impacts U.S. Latinxs. In 2011, she updated her research with an emphasis on air pollution in “U.S. Latinxs and Air Pollution: A Call to Action.”
Quintero founded and leads Voces, a national coalition of Latino business, health, community leaders and organizations representing millions of Latinxs, joined together to advocate for action on climate change and the development of our country’s renewable, clean energy sources. Voces engages key Latino stakeholders to create a national echo-chamber of political, policy and cultural influentials to weigh in alongside decision-makers in support of climate action.
