our democracy is under threat. we need to ensure every voter gets to the polls for every election.

And that starts now, in 2025. The 2024 elections ushered in a far-right trifecta to Washington, DC that has taken active steps to undermine our democracy in fundamental and unprecedented ways. The dark shadow of authoritarianism now looms over the United States. Among other dangers, President Trump has weaponized the entirety of the federal government to roll back efforts to combat the climate crisis.

To fight back, we need climate champions in policymaking positions at all levels of government.

Which means we need to build a powerful bloc of climate voters. And that is harder than ever. Politicians continue to rig the game, particularly against communities featuring Black, Brown, Indigenous, and low-income populations. Despite a long, history of struggling to enfranchise voters, it remains true that millions do not turn out to vote each year. Which means two things: 1. We have a government that does not represent the interests of everyone and heavily favors white, wealthy, corporate interests and 2. We have an enormous opportunity to mobilize infrequent voters who care about the climate and ensure their interests are represented.

That’s what Chutzpah is about: Getting people to exercise their right to vote.

volunteers in action

"It felt great to walk someone through the process of requesting a mail ballot online, sending it in by the deadline, and reminding her it was a really important election for the environment -- to which she said, 'for sure!'"

"As someone deeply connected to nature, I believe climate justice is essential, especially for the most vulnerable communities who are the ones most affected by climate change. That's why I'm phonebanking—to ensure that those who care about our planet vote this November."

"My favorite calls were to a woman who'd moved from Virginia to Florida, but had evacuated to Colorado! She'll vote when she gets back home. Then I spoke to a young man who will be voting for the first time!"

"I just had a guy talk about how his whole community has a big barbecue with 'beans and everything' and they all go vote early!"

"Just had a great call with someone who moved recently and needed help finding their polling location. They were grateful for the information and very kind!"

"The Torah commands us to do this kind of thing. To try to find justice in the world. And climate justice is one of the big ones. What have you got to lose?"

"The framing with Jewish values [at the beginning] and songs [at the end] has really elevated the experience of calling voters to feel more communal, uplifting, and meaningful."
