Political Advocacy

The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) is the political voice of the national environmental movement and the only organization devoted full-time to shaping a pro-environment Congress and White House. LCV produces an annual National Environmental Scorecard and a Presidential Report Card, used to hold Congress and the Administration accountable for their actions on the environment.

California League of Conservation Voters (CLCV) is the non-partisan political action arm of California's environmental movement. CLCV's mission is to protect the environmental quality of the state by increasing public awareness of the environmental performance of all elected officials, working to elect environmentally responsible candidates, and holding them accountable to the environmental agenda once elected. CLCV publishes the California Environmental Scorecard. The Scorecard rates the performance of the California Legislature and the governor on key environmental legislation. Now in its 30th year, the Scorecard is distributed to 30,000 CLCV members, other environmental organizations, and the news media.

Vote the Coast (VTC) is a non-partisan grassroots organization committed to the protection of California coastal and ocean resources. VTC's mission is to achieve coastal protection and conservation. Vote the Coast works to ensure that pro-coastal legislators are elected to public office and that the voting public is aware of how their votes affect the future of coastal protection in California. It also produces an annual coastal scorecard that rates legislators on their votes on coastal legislation.
