In reference to the prospects of progressive candidates in 2024, recent headlines have highlighted a “waning enthusiasm” among Black, Hispanic, and young voters. Among voters concerned about the climate crisis, dissatisfaction and anger have arisen as fossil fuel projects in Alaska and Appalachia move forward. In this webinar, we will focus on what can be done to create the momentum needed for champions of climate justice to be elected into office. We will look at how climate solutions can be prioritized in the primaries, so that policies in accord with environmental justice values can be advanced.

Our featured webinar guests include:

• Lashelle Johnson, State Equity Policy Director, League of Conservation Voters
• Saul Levin, Legislative and Political Director, Green New Deal Network
• Wanda Mosley, National Field Director, Black Voters Matter Fund

Michael Malcom who serves as the Executive Director for Alabama Interfaith Power & Light and the People’s Justice Council.
