We’re thrilled to announce our first 2025 honoree: Nalleli Cobo, a fierce leader in the environmental justice movement. At 19, she helped shut down a toxic oil site in her South LA neighborhood — the same site that had caused years of health issues for her community. She began speaking out at age 9, co-founded People Not Pozos, and despite a cancer diagnosis at 19, continued her fight, earning the Goldman Environmental Prize and a spot on TIME100 Next.

We’re proud to spotlight one of our incredible Verte sponsors: Sunflower Farms! They’ve supported our programs in meaningful ways—providing plants for school garden events, hosting our annual SOAR-ientation, and bringing fresh greenery to this year’s gala. We’re especially excited to be partnering with them during their 50th anniversary year!
