Lori Wilson, Tina McKinnor, Corey Jackson, and Lola Smallwood-Cuevas are California’s newest Black lawmakers, and we would like you to get to know them! Representation and diversity are always important, but they are especially critical in seats of power like in our State Legislature. These legislators hail from some of the regions of California that experience the most environmental injustices, and their variety of experiences and perspectives from their work on education, labor rights, homelessness, criminal justice, and of course, the environment, will be incredibly valuable in our state’s lawmaking spaces.

In 2020, Governor Newsom committed California to an ambitious goal — the conservation and protection of 30% of California’s land by 2030. But with only seven years left,  how has California been doing on completing that critical goal?

EnviroVoters has added 27 NEW STAFF in the last year! And there’s still more positions we’re hiring for. Do you or anyone you know want to make a difference and join a passionate team dedicated to achieving a climate-just future? If so, apply now!

We graded each and every one of California’s Assemblymembers and State Senators on their climate and environmental performance in 2022. Our new and improved scorecard website makes it quick and easy to find out how YOUR legislator did and contact them directly to tell them what you think!
