GET THE GREEN VOTE OUT

Many environmental organizations have endorsed candidates based on progressive climate policies. Check out the endorsement lists from 350.org, League of Conservation Voters, the Sunrise Movement, or any of your favorite environmental nonprofits to see if your candidate meets their standards.

Choosing reusables and living an environmentally friendly lifestyle is one way that we all vote with our dollars to protect the planet. Another way that we can get involved is by joining or supporting an organization that takes action on climate every day of the year. You can sign up to take electoral action through 350.org, advocate for policies that protect the wilderness with Conservation Alliance, get involved with direct action through Protect Our Winters, or dig into local politics by joining a chapter of the League of Conservation Voters.
