Climate change is one of the most pressing crises facing our planet, and communities in the U.S. and around the world are already experiencing its devastating impacts. Severe droughts and heatwaves, record-breaking forest fires, more powerful storms and hurricanes, flooding, water scarcity, and sea level rise have and will continue to threaten the health and safety of current and future generations. Climate change’s impacts hit lower income communities and communities of color hardest, exacerbating systemic racial and economic inequities.
These are issues that our candidates have self identified as focusing on. Collectively, we are taking bold action on climate.
How we choose these priorities
-
We target competitive races where pro-climate, pro-democracy candidates are critical to ensuring a pro-environment Congress and building power in key states
-
We evaluate each candidate’s publicly available environmental record
-
We also evaluate their chances of winning— so you can invest in races where your dollars will have the biggest impact
