Electing environmental champions.

Building the political power of Illinois’s environmental movement.

Elections matter.

Our team evaluates candidates’ policy positions to endorse those who will fight to protect our air, water, and health and win.

This means educating legislators about new innovative solutions, working across the aisle to build to build powerful coalitions, and mobilizing constituents.

Our theory of change.

The Illinois environmental community has built admirable levels of power using power of people, technical expertise, and lobbying.

Still, the influence of money on politics leaves important victories out of reach.

We provide electoral support to key environmental champions to protect the growing environmental majority, grow political power with party leadership, and demonstrate the strength of the environmental community.
