Issues we’re targeting
-
Clean Electricity Transition
Transitioning to 100 percent clean electricity is critical to tackling the climate crisis as it presents huge economic opportunities and is extremely popular.
-
Clean and Equitable Transportation
The transportation sector is the largest single source of climate pollution in the United States. Its health-harming pollution sickens and cuts short the lives of tens of thousands each year.
-
Environmental & Climate Justice
Racial and economic inequalities in our country and the systems that perpetuate these forces have concentrated toxic polluters near and within Black, Indigenous and communities of color and low-wealth communities.
-
No New Fossil Infrastructure
We must achieve meaningful and equitable reductions in the pollution that is fueling the climate crisis. Halting any new fossil infrastructure is vital to mitigating the impending climate crisis.
-
Toxic PFAS Chemicals
PFAS chemicals (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a class of thousands of toxic, persistent, and widely used man-made chemicals that pose a serious threat to our health.

Clean Water
Having access to clean, safe and affordable drinking water regardless of race, income or zip code is a human right. However, far too many people still worry if their tap water is contaminated.

Study after study continues to confirm longstanding common sense and science —burning fossil fuels and other polluting industries produce air pollution that causes health problems.

Clean Energy Grid Upgrades
Transitioning to 100 percent clean electricity is critical to tackling the climate crisis. It presents a huge economic opportunity, and it is extremely popular.
