Each month, LCV shares five stories about our work. This month, we’re focusing on how we’re holding Republicans accountable for their disastrous budget, our Wisconsin affiliate’s clean water win, Chispa’s latest pollution protections, our public lands road show, and how we’re equipping new candidates to win downballot races.

LCV Candidate Academy alum Kate Daniels talks lessons from the training and how she applied them to her successful campaign for County Supervisor of Monterey County, California.

This month, we’re celebrating states' efforts to lower energy costs by increasing renewable energy, holding utilities accountable, and more.

California was the first of several states to establish their own strong protections decades ago, and has stood as a national and often global leader on clean air rules.

This year, in legislatures and governors’ offices across the country, we have already seen champions announce ambitious new plans and seek to “Trump-proof” climate goals. In the memo below we’ve laid out new state level clean energy legislation, proposed public transportation and electric vehicle investments, and actions taken to hold the biggest polluters accountable.
