LCW Ponte Las Pilas Latinx Enviros Happy Hour
Many times, underrepresented enviro and conservationist work are the only ones in the room, and tend to work in silos. The goal of this event is to get us all together, in a social setting, so we can create synergetic momentum towards the engagement of public lands and waters. Many times we meet in larger settings and our voices are drowned out; this is an opportunity to meet up and make a plan to work collectively for the purposes of making our community better and collaborating with the goal of uplifting us all. Come hang out and enjoy an amazing DJ spinning CumbiaHouse music, have a cold drink from a Latina owned local brewery, munch on some amazing tacos and visualize our collective future with like minded individuals. Big shout out to our friends and supporters!

Additional Details
What's TIERRA ARMØN?
TIERRA ARMØN is a social entrepreneurship project created by Alejandro Valdés aka outlier.mp3. The purpose of TIERRA ARMØN is to encourage active community participation, while also hosting very fun events including concerts, dance meetups, wellness workshops, comedy shows, and more!
Who's outlier.mp3?
outlier.mp3 is the artist moniker of Alejandro Valdés, a 24 y/o Bolivian + Chilean American multidisciplinary artist and academic. He has performed in the USA, Costa Rica, Bolivia, and Panama. He won the 2022 Electric Forest Music + Arts Festival Prize Cart Music Producer Remix Contest, has DJd for clubs/parties all over Washington DC including Flash + Twelve After Twelve + DC Bike Party, is an active dancer with the DMV Shuffle Circle, and recently DJd at 2023 Electric Forest as part of a renegade stage hosted by Sweet Sounds Collective. outlier.mp3 loves graphic design as well, and designed a piece for Pigeons and Planes (a subsidiary of Complex) in March 2022 that was used in their Spotify + Soundcloud playlists. He's won his fair share of academic awards and has been involved in all sorts of STEM research, but those aren't as fun as his artistic accomplishments! :) Here's his LinkedIn if you're curious, though:
