LWV Climate Interest Group

The LWV Climate Interest Group is open to all members of League of Women Voters.  Here's their raison d'être:
​  As citizens of the world we must protect our planet from the physical, economic and public health effects of climate change while also providing pathways to economic prosperity. To advance League action on this urgent issue, we have formed a nationwide collaboration effort: the LWV Climate Interest Group. We are a group of League members from across the United States working together to fight climate change. We have teams in important climate issue areas to provide materials for local and state Leagues to use in their education and advocacy.
