Our Mission
Massachusetts has a number of environmental advocacy organizations working to fight climate change and elect candidates to our State House that put climate first. To prevent the worst impacts of the climate crisis, we need leaders at all levels of government that prioritize our public health, invest in the clean energy economy, and protect our environment. This website aggregates the endorsements of five of the leading environmental organizations in the state in order to help voters identify which candidates on their ballot will lead on environmental issues.
Each organizations’ endorsement process is different and not every candidate applies for every endorsement, but we hope our combined efforts can raise critical climate issues in every campaign and highlight candidates that will fight to protect our air, land, and water. Read more about each organization and their endorsement process below.
