Friend,

Tonight, there will be another Democratic presidential debate and this time the 2020 contenders will be live from Los Angeles, California!

Our Chief Executive Officer Mary Creasman made one thing clear as the candidates gear up for tonight’s debate:

“When California voters are facing rolling blackouts, smog and the ever-present threat of more droughts there’s no other option than to have bold climate action as the top priority. Early voting is two months away, tonight’s debate should be used to highlight bold visionary solutions to act on climate. The presidential candidates will be standing between Malibu, which experienced firsthand the deadly effects of wildfires and the Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach, whose neighboring communities are negatively affected daily by some of the worst pollution in the country. Climate change is a public health, economic and foreign policy issue – candidates shouldn’t wait to be asked to weave in their policy positions for our future, period.”

Friend, the clock is ticking. It’s crucial that our next president is prepared to lead our nation’s fight against climate change.

We encourage you to watch tonight’s debate and follow us on Twitter as we highlight the top mentions of climate change, the environment, and democracy reform.

Tomorrow, we will resume our work to create the opportunity for our elected leaders to take bold action on our climate crisis. We won’t ever stop fighting to build a clean energy future that works for everyone.

Thank you for all you do,

Team CLCV
