We are at a tipping point, John: Climate change has brought an influx of natural disasters, hot temperatures and rising sea levels – and it’s disproportionately impacting low-income households and communities of color.

There’s never been a more urgent moment in our history to recruit progressive leaders who will fight for climate-conscious policies at the state and local level. 

Justin Bibb, Mayor of Cleveland, Ohio, is a prime example of the leadership we need to help mitigate the catastrophic impacts of climate change. A Run for Something alum and chair of the Climate Mayors 2024 leadership team, Justin has been a major advocate for environmental justice and a model for city-led solutions to the climate crisis. 

By recruiting more progressive leaders like Justin, we can successfully combat the climate crisis. Donate now to support our work recruiting climate champions, like Justin, who are fighting for environmental justice.

Tackling climate change is going to take more than one law, policy or election cycle. A monumental movement at every level of government – from city councils to state legislatures – is needed to successfully combat global climate crises. 

Our progressive candidates and alums have what it takes to advocate for the protection of our planet, ensuring that their communities have clean air, water and places to call home. So please, give a gift to our planet this Earth Day by chipping in $5 – or whatever you can – to help us recruit more climate champions like Justin Bibb who will combat the climate crisis.

Thank you,

Run for Something
