Hey friend,

There’s a reason why EnviroVoters works in lobbying, organizing, AND elections. All of these aspects of government advocacy are intrinsically interconnected and equally important in the fight for climate justice.

The year 2023 exemplified this interconnectedness: There was a huge drop in the number of lawmakers who accepted campaign funding from Big Oil, and as a result, we were able to pass the biggest climate bill in the nation. 

Only 47% of incoming legislators took oil money in their campaigns. While the ideal number would, of course, be zero, this percentage is impressive considering that 78% of the legislators they replaced accepted oil money!

Electing these champions was no easy feat, and we accomplished it in large part because of the support of our dedicated members. Friend, as we enter the 2024 election season, there is more of a need than ever for monthly members to support our work. Become one today →

In their first session in the California Legislature, this influx of climate-focused newcomers had an unmistakable impact. 

SB 253, which requires pollution transparency for billion-dollar companies, was re-introduced after its previous incarnation failed to pass in the Assembly by one vote in 2022. In 2023, SB 253 passed in the Assembly with an impressive 49 votes, largely because of the newcomer class of climate champions.

We are proud to have supported and helped elect these new leaders since the early days of their campaigns. In fact, more than half of the new legislators who don’t take oil money were endorsed by us and replaced legislators who previously did take oil money.

We need every bit of help we can get to continue that success from the 2022 election in 2024. Support EnviroVoters for the long haul by becoming a monthly donor (and receive some awesome merch as our way of saying thanks)!

Every bit of support counts, friend. Thank you so much for your generosity and commitment to the fight.
