Our 30+ state affiliate organizations build power in the states to fight for clean energy, climate action, and a stronger democracy. These state affiliates and our national organization together form the Conservation Voters Movement. This network closely collaborates and shares expertise and resources in order to create positive change at all levels of government, from local to state to federal.

“The power of the Conservation Voters Movement – of this network of over 30 state organizations and a national organization – is that the sum of our parts is greater than the whole. Collectively, our network is at the forefront of advocating for climate action, environmental safeguards, and a stronger democracy – from the state house to the White House. We’re collaborating together at all levels of government to fight for cleaner air, safer water, and a more just and equitable future for all.”

Executive Director, Michigan League of Conservation Voters
“The absolute devastation wrought by Hurricane Ian is a profound and sad example that the climate crisis is here. We are truly living in a climate emergency; however, Floridians cannot adapt our way out of this problem. We need state leaders to prioritize a just transition away from dirty fossil fuels and foster the clean energy future we deserve. Nothing less than the future livability of our state is at stake.”
Bethzaida Olivera
Climate And Clean Energy Policy Advocate, Florida Conservation Voters
“We can’t wait: Georgia needs a just transition to clean, affordable energy that will leave our state better for generations to come. While our work at the Capitol is far from easy, it’s clear that there’s bipartisan support for removing barriers to renewable energy. I was proud to work alongside Georgia Conservation Voters this session on bills that would create jobs, protect Georgians from unfair utility charges, and allow low-income residents the opportunity to benefit from rooftop solar. I look forward to getting back to work on these important issues next year!”
State Representative Becky Evans

This month we’re looking back at the most read stories from 2024. Our readers honed in on the climate action made possible by federal investments, states’ clean energy progress, clean school buses, and state democracy wins. You’ll also learn about a recent major clean energy victory in Massachusetts.
Each month, LCV shares five stories about the impact of our work. This month, we’re focusing on our movement’s efforts in the 2024 elections, the federal and state races we helped win for pro-environment, pro-democracy champions, and the volunteer organizers who power our movement — and where we go from here.
Kelsey, an artist and LCV GreenRoots organizer based in Michigan, started to question her denial of climate change after Hurricane Katrina. Now, she mentors others who are new to the climate movement and organizes LCV members to get out the vote for pro-environment candidates.
LCV GreenRoots organizer Magali is working to hold politicians accountable for the consequences of their decisions by raising her voice and encouraging others in her community to do the same.
GreenRoots organizer Achol's steadfast commitment to environmental and social justice comes from a strong sense of community and responsibility to make sure everyone’s voices are heard, not just the rich and powerful.
