About Us

From the climate crisis to assaults on our democracy to economic inequality, these challenges are caused and exacerbated by the realities of systemic and structural racism and other interlocking systems of oppression.

Guiding and motivating our actions to address these interconnected challenges are LCV’s values – accountability, anti-racism, community, innovation, learning, and sustainability – which shape every decision across our organization. Central to these values is our firm commitment to center equity and racial justice in all of our work, including our external climate, democracy, and electoral work and our internal policies, practices, and structures.

Climate solutions and democratic reforms that do not intentionally confront the injustice upon which our democracy and its laws are built are bound to perpetuate inequities of the status quo. At the same time, the actions we can take to fight the climate crisis and foster a strong, participatory democracy present tremendous environmental, social, economic, and community benefits that we are committed to ensuring benefit everyone.

• Securing the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, the most significant climate legislation in U.S. history.
• Partnering with our state affiliates to push for state policies resulting in 40% of people in the U.S. now living in a place dedicated to 100% clean electricity.
• Securing $2.5 billion in federal funding for 100% clean energy school buses.

• The League of Conservation Voters Education Fund (LCVEF) works to expand voter participation, advocates for policy change, engages in public education, mobilizes, organizes, and builds grassroots power in communities, and supports our state LCVEF partners.
• The League of Conservation Voters Action Fund (LCVAF), LCV’s connected federal political action committee (PAC), works to elect environmental champions who will address the climate crisis and fight to strengthen our democracy.
• The LCV Victory Fund (LCVVF) is a political committee that engages in independent campaigns to influence competitive races where our involvement and issues can be decisive for pro-environment, pro-democracy candidates.
