For over half a century, the League of Conservation Voters, Inc. (“LCV”), has led the charge for clean air, clean water, public lands, healthy communities and a sustainable planet for all. LCV has built political power and infrastructure at the intersection of climate policy and electoral strategy—advancing environmental protections, electing pro environmental lawmakers and aligning action across an integral multi‑state network.

We envision a world in which tackling the climate crisis, confronting environmental injustice and strengthening our democracy leads to cleaner and healthier communities, good, well‑paying jobs and a just, equitable and sustainable future for all.
