Did you know that more than 15 million environmentalists sat out in recent elections?
Through environmental issues are one of the top priorities for Americans, people who vote regularly rank environment as one of their lowest priorities. WE have the power to change how our elected officials respond to the climate crisis when we all vote. Though environment may seem like a big, global issue, officials at the local level have a big impact on the air we breathe, the water we drink, greenspaces available locally, and so much more. That's why PEA put together a few resources to help you vote in the 2020 election and make environment a priority in our city, county, state, and nation! Check it out.
