Fortalecemos Nuestra Democracia

Democracia Para Todos

Involucramos a las comunidades y colaboramos con coaliciones nacionales y nuestros afiliados estatales del Movimiento de Votantes por la Conservación para promover soluciones políticas que aumenten de manera proactiva la capacidad de las personas para participar en las elecciones, salvaguardar el acceso a las boletas y defendernos contra ataques y obstáculos que dificultan el voto.

Voter Registration

We can’t combat the climate crisis without a just and equitable democracy that works for everyone.

Communities who face the greatest burdens from the climate crisis and pollution are the same communities who have been historically excluded from the electoral process, particularly communities of color, communities with low wealth, communities living with disabilities, and young and elderly communities.

LCVEF runs multi-state site-based nonpartisan voter registration programs — in 2022, they were the largest of their kind. These programs register eligible voters historically excluded from voter registration efforts, including communities of color in urban and rural communities.

Civic Engagement

To build a more just and equitable democracy that is responsive to all people and their will to protect the planet, Democracy For All is improving access to and trust in our democracy, especially so that all communities historically excluded from the electoral process have a voice at the ballot box — including communities of color, communities with low wealth, young and elderly communities, and communities with disabilities.

We do this through transformational community organizing and art activism while building long-term infrastructure and community-driven campaigns that move people to collective action. Our core strategies are to:

Mobilize people of color and young people in historically excluded communities to participate in elections through large-scale nonpartisan voter registration and nonpartisan voter turnout.

Engage in campaigns that build long-term community leadership and power and result in environmental justice and democracy reform.

Build authentic and mutually beneficial partnerships with organizations led by and serving people of color.

Create public art campaigns that transformative stories through cultural and creative strategies, opinion editorials, letters-to-the-editor, multimedia channels, and other platforms.

Judiciary

The stakes for the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the planet have never been higher, but environmental laws are only as strong as the judges who uphold them.

No one is above the law, and when corporations break the law to put profits over people, we need judges willing to hold them accountable. When far-right politicians distort our democracy to take the people’s power for themselves, we need judges willing to enforce our rights.

LCV Education Fund engages with policymakers, constituents, advocates, journalists, the legal community, state partners, and supporters to highlight the incredible power our third branch of government exercises over vital protections for our environment and democracy, and the need for judges who will protect our rights instead of attacking them.
