ABOUT ENVIROVOTERS
The climate crisis is here — and Black, Indigenous, and people of color have been bearing the burden of our pollution-based economy for generations. We have the solutions to stop climate change, but we lack the political will to act at the rate and scale needed.
EnviroVoters exists to build that political will. We organize voters, elect and train candidates, and hold lawmakers accountable for bold policy change. Our vision is resilient, healthy, thriving communities, and a democracy and economy that is just and sustainable for all.
Our core values — Equity, Courage, Integrity, Compassion, Impact, and Learning — are not aspirational language. They shape how we work, how we lead, and how we show up for one another and for the communities we serve.
