General Description:

LCV believes our earth and our democracy are  worth fighting for because everyone has a right to clean air, water, a safe, healthy community and a voice in their future. To ensure those rights are protected, we help people use their power to shape policy, hold politicians and polluters accountable, and influence elections.

For more than 50 years, LCV has grown into a potent political force to strengthen our democracy, and protect our planet and everyone who inhabits it. We have built a powerful national movement with 30 state affiliates, and grassroots and community organizing programs across the country.

Democracy for All (DFA) is one of the largest and most dynamic democracy programs in the nation and the largest program within the environmental movement. We operate in partnership with 30 state affiliates in the Conservation Voter Movement, which gives Democracy For All substantial capacity and geographic reach, while prioritizing collaboration with the frontline communities who are most impacted by attacks on voting rights. LCV and many state affiliate partners have prioritized increasing our efforts to protect and promote voting rights, especially in historically excluded communities. These issues are central to the success of environmental priorities, and are, therefore, central to the success of the Conservation Voter Movement. Through our sister organization, LCV Education Fund, we have established a track record of running highly effective, research-based nonpartisan voter registration programs that are rooted in racial justice and worked in collaboration with the communities most impacted by environmental degradation. Since our first program in 2012, we have helped over 1.5 million individuals register to vote.
