Our Strategy

You play a critical role in helping to elect champions who will act on climate and defend democracy.

  • 2023-2024

    Ensure climate remains a presidential priority

    In August 2022, President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act—the most significant action Congress has ever taken to address the climate crisis. 

    Over the next election cycle, our donors will elect Vice President Harris to ensure that our climate gains aren’t lost, and send a message to the Biden-Harris administration that climate action remains a priority.

  • 2023-2024

    Safeguard the Senate

    Help us defend the seats of Senate climate champions in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Montana, Nevada, Virginia, and Washington.

    We can also help to elect new, pro-environment leaders in Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, and Texas.

  • 2023-2024

    Reclaim the House

    This cycle, we must take back the House of Representatives and achieve a pro-environment majority.

    We have opportunities to pick up at least five seats in states like New York and California, where climate candidates lost by razor-thin margins. 

    We’ll also defend incumbent climate champions who face tough reelection fights in 2024.

How we choose these priorities

  • We prioritize competitive races and help elect champions who will act on climate, environmental justice, and democracy.

  • We evaluate each candidate’s record on environmental and pro-democracy policies. That way, you know you’re supporting a candidate who shares your values.

  • We evaluate a candidate's chance of winning—so you can invest in races where your contributions will have the biggest impact.

  • We prioritize diversity and believe supporting candidates of color, women, and LGBTQIA+ candidates is integral to addressing the climate crisis and its direct impact on systematically marginalized communities.
