General Description:
The League of Conservation Voters , Inc. (“LCV”), a non-profit organization, believes our earth is worth fighting for because everyone has a right to clean air, water, and a safe, healthy community. To ensure those rights are protected, we help people use their power to shape policy, hold politicians and polluters accountable, and influence elections.
For more than 50 years, LCV has grown into a potent political force for protecting our planet and everyone who inhabits it. We have built a powerful national movement with 30+ state affiliates, and grassroots and community organizing programs across the country.
Through grassroots community organizing, issue campaigns, and civic engagement, LCV’s organizing programs create local wins, led by communities of color that contribute to momentum for strong national action on climate change and environmental justice. At the same time, we are growing the infrastructure and leadership in communities that result in families and communities of color having the political clout to stand up to polluters and demand accountability from decision makers who have turned a blind eye to environmental racism and inequities in their communities. This leadership is essential not only at the community-level, but also for ensuring that LCV, our state affiliate partners, and mainstream environmental organizations become more racially diverse, integrate justice and equity into their priorities and analyses, and become more inclusive organizations that better represent and reflect all communities in the U.S.
