Assess Climate Commitment with ecoAmerica’s New GOTV Tool
You can help shape a community that prioritizes climate action by equipping yourself with knowledge about candidates’ environmental commitments and the potential impacts of ballot measures. With our new Local Candidate + Ballot Measure Climate Assessment Tool, you can make informed decisions at the polls, driving meaningful climate action. Our assessment tool provides you with a comprehensive framework for assessing candidates’ climate policies, guiding you through key considerations such as their stance on renewable energy, community engagement, and resilience-building measures. This assessment helps you identify candidates who truly prioritize climate action and possess the ambition and plans to make it a reality.
Local ballot measures often hold the power to significantly enhance sustainability, resilience, and environmental justice. So, we’ve added a second framework to our assessment tool for evaluating them based on environmental impact, resilience building, and justice and equity, so you can make well-informed decisions that align with your climate values.
Engaged, informed voting is crucial to ensuring a thriving planet for current and future generations. By using the Local Candidate + Ballot Measure Climate Assessment Tool, your vote can drive meaningful progress. Let’s make every vote count for our climate!
