We cannot have a healthy environment without a thriving democracy, and states are at the frontline for attacks against democratic values. LCV's state affiliates have played a crucial role in these key victories so far this year to protect voting rights and fair elections.

Each month, LCV shares five stories about the impact of our work. This month, we’re focusing on Tim Walz’s impressive climate record, our previous success and plans for mobilizing LCV members to elect climate champions, and the many ways LCV and our state affiliates help everyday people benefit from the Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) clean energy investments.
