Climate Candidates:

We catalyze climate champions to run for local and state office

Climate Candidates catalyzes climate champions to run for local and state office. Join us for an Accelerator to learn what you should know when considering or taking the next step to run for local office. We deliver the Climate Candidates Accelerator with support from our network that provides additional support and training. We know that the climate crisis is the defining issue of our time. And the science is clear – it is crucial we take climate action urgently before 2030. Local and state policy makers across the United States can make the kind of transformative changes we need in our cities and towns. And that leadership is determined by local and state elections, sometimes by just a handful of voters. 

That is why we need climate candidates elected at every level of office from school boards to state assembly offices.

Participation in our program is free and open to all.
