Who We Are
We are the California Environmental Voters (EnviroVoters) Education Fund
We organize and educate voters; educate leaders who will fight to protect our water, land, air, and most vulnerable communities; radically advance climate policy and legislation by promoting greater civic participation; and expand democracy to include those historically excluded from decision-making. Our vision is to build resilient, healthy, thriving communities, and create a democracy and economy that is just and sustainable for all.
We believe that transformational change is necessary.
With our state constantly threatened by wildfires, droughts, extreme heat waves, and toxic air quality, climate action is an urgent imperative. It’s also an opportunity to address injustice at scale and dismantle systemic inequities, touching every part of our economy and infrastructure.
History
The California Environmental Voters Education Fund has been working since 1996 to transform people’s relationship with our environment and each other by organizing, educating, and making the best use of technology and media. We recognize that the climate crisis disproportionately impacts communities of color and low-income populations.
We know lasting change happens because of relationships and personal experience. Through programs focused on voter engagement and mobilization, issue and legislative education, and research and opinion polling, the EnviroVoters Education Fund has provided the public, policymakers, and environmental advocates with the resources they need to make California’s air, water, and natural resources cleaner and greener through the democratic process.
We are in the business of changing what is possible.
The 2030 deadline for significant climate action to avoid climate catastrophe is approaching fast. We have a lot to do before then, but we have the tools to make it happen!
Mission
The California Environmental Voters Education Fund inspires hope and action. We fight for equity and justice for all Californians, from voting rights to clean air and water. We educate, engage, and empower Californians to protect California’s natural resources and improve the health of our communities.
We work together to make government, policy, and voting accessible by:
- Conducting public opinion research with a focus on the needs and perspectives of communities bearing the greatest burden of the climate crisis.
- Shaping the public narrative to center racial justice, equity, and resilience.
- Organizing with frontline communities and allies.
- Educating legislators on pressing environmental issues and the urgent need for policies that promote racial and economic equity.
