Preserving and protecting our environment is a political process
Elections
We work on electing environmentally minded legislators with the hope that they’ll enact the environmental protections our communities need. Our volunteers are actively involved in endorsing pro-environment candidates and then working for their election. Find our more here.
Lobbying
During our legislative session and in other decision-making forums we engage as grassroots lobbyists, working to inform and motivate our legislators to take action for clean air and clean water. Get involved here.
