Climate change was discussed dead last in a two-hour debate.
John,
When Kamala Harris and Donald Trump debated last week, we got a lot of things: lies about people eating neighborhood pets, refusals to take accountability for an insurrection, and a heated exchange about the size of people’s campaign rallies. 🥴
What we didn’t get was enough discussion about the climate crisis.
Climate change was discussed dead last in a two-hour debate. While Vice President Harris acknowledged the “very real” issue of climate change, it was disheartening to see the heavy existential threat relegated to a few seconds of airtime.
We know that climate change is a key issue for voters across the country — especially young voters who know they are inheriting this problem from decades of inadequate action. That’s why Lead Locally is organizing around the clock to support local climate candidates who will prioritize environmental justice and urgent reforms to environmental policy in cities and states around the country.
If you agree that we need more climate champions elected to all levels of government, will you sign our pledge to support down ballot candidates this November?

With less than 50 days until Election Day, we’re running out of time to reach voters; but with your support we know we can win across the country this November.
Thank you,
Lead Locally HQ
