We also need to have a voice in who gets elected to these positions, to ensure that they are willing to take action on these issues.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is why we have launched WE ACT 4 Change Inc., a political organization affiliated with\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weact.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WE ACT for Environmental Justice<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, in 2020.

We will engage in voter and civic engagement activities as well as ranking and endorsing political candidates. We will also lobby for policies and programs as well as hold elected officials accountable.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have already begun our voter engagement work in New York City, conducting candidate forums, hiring and training canvassers for a get-out-the-vote campaign, and developing the city\u2019s first environmental justice candidate report card. We will also advocate for state and federal policies that advance climate justice.<\/span>"}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>About Us -
