Hello John,
Last week, I shared big news with you. Washington Environmental Council and Washington Conservation Voters are now unified under a single brand as Washington Conservation Action.
Washington Conservation Action can leverage the brand equity and power of our two organizations for even greater success and transformational change across the state for people and the environment. We’ve heard from electeds, legislators, agency partners, critical stakeholders and coalition partners, volunteers, members, and donors who tell us how excited they are for this next chapter and for our ability to make an even bigger impact for future generations.
We have worked toward this brand unification for almost a decade and we believe we can be a bigger leader in the environmental movement than we already are. We will still operate a (c)3 and (c)4, as Washington Conservation Action Education Fund and Washington Conservation Action, respectively, as well as a PAC. While some things are changing like our name, our missions and our work only gets stronger!
Let me know if you have any questions and I’ll make sure someone from our team responds. Thanks for being a part of our organizations and for believing in us.
Gratefully,
Zachary Pullin (he/him)
Communications Director, Washington Conservation Action
As a supporter of Washington Conservation Voters, you are the first to hear our exciting news. We are now Washington Conservation Action and Washington Conservation Action Education Fund.
WEC and WCV have shared an office, staff, and a CEO for close to a decade. Changing our names to better reflect our shared vision into a unified brand is the next step in our evolution as organizations. It signals our approach to solving Washington’s most critical environmental issues in a transformational and united way.
While our names are changing, our missions only enhance.
We will still advance environmental policy issues and push for actions that equitably address climate pollution, restore Puget Sound, sustain our state’s forests, and protect our democracy. For this to happen, we cannot rely solely on policy advocacy. We still need environmental champions in elected office.
Washington Conservation Action and Washington Conservation Action Education Fund share a vision for a Washington state where nature and people live in balance for the flourishing of all. We will still operate with a 501(c3), 501(c4), and an independent Political Action Committee (PAC). As two closely united organizations, we know we will be more effective in leveraging our suite of powerful tools to advance environmental progress and justice in Washington! Our team is more energized and invigorated than ever before.
