Let’s mobilize climate-concerned voters and ensure every policymaker has the chutzpah to deliver urgent action on climate

There are 400 elections across the country this year – from city halls to State Houses in every state – and each one offers an opportunity to mobilize voters who care about climate but often don’t get to the polls.

In 2025, we’ll be working locally to advance crucial policies that will hold polluters accountable and deliver climate justice to communities that need it most. And, we’ll be getting out the climate vote at all levels of government – so we have climate champions in policymaking positions.

"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?"

CAMPAIGN GOALS

1. Mobilize Jewish climate activists to contact voters in key states; targeting people who are unlikely to vote, who care about the climate, and who may be facing barriers to voting.  

2. Lift up the climate stakes of key elections to voters – especially Jewish voters, candidates, and elected officials.

3. Ensure that every candidate and policymaker has the chutzpah to deliver urgent action on climate.
