Friend, the California Primary Election on Tuesday, March 5 is fast approaching. We have a crucial opportunity to ensure we have climate champions on the ballot in November to allow us to shift the balance of power in the California Legislature from corporate-aligned politicians to a true environmental majority.

We’ve identified eight State Senate and Assembly candidates in priority races who are committed to championing bold policies to protect our environment and democracy, and fight for climate justice. Our goal of achieving a climate majority in Sacramento — which in turn has world-wide implications — starts with this primary election.

By contributing through Give Green California, your contribution not only directly supports a climate champion candidate but also sends a message that candidates don’t need money from oil and gas to get elected, because the power of the environmental and climate justice movements are firmly behind them.
