How we choose our priorities
COMPETITIVE RACES

ENVIRONMENTAL RECORDS
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.
WINNING POTENTIAL
We evaluate a candidate's chance of winning—so you can invest in races where your contributions will have the biggest impact.
CANDIDATE DIVERSITY
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.

We are a team of political strategists, fundraisers, and policy experts.
Our Strategy
Help us safeguard the critical gains we have made in both the House and Senate.
Issues we’re targeting
-
Transitioning to 100 percent clean electricity is critical to tackling the climate crisis as it presents huge economic opportunities and is extremely popular.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Transitioning to 100 percent clean electricity is critical to tackling the climate crisis. It presents a huge economic opportunity, and it is extremely popular.
-
The climate crisis has already begun impacting America’s farmers and ranchers – threatening their future, the health of rural communities, and our food security.
-
The decline of nature is a direct threat to the nation’s wildlife, clean air and water, the ability to fight climate change, and a healthy economy.
-
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) is facing unprecedented attacks that threaten some of our nation’s most important species.
-
We can’t have a healthy environment without a healthy democracy, and we can’t have a healthy democracy without protecting the right to vote.
