VOTE in every election: national, state and local. Every elected position is critical for moving climate solutions forward. Voting for people at every level of government who are willing to address the climate crisis is critical to protecting our grandchildren and all generations.

Join Elders Promote the Vote and help mobilize inconsistent voters through phone banking, postcarding and more. We use nonpartisan messaging to reach out to inactive voters and help them connect with all the information needed to empower them to vote. 

Check your email for the ECA’s twice monthly Elders In Action Bulletin filled with things that you can do in your community or from the comfort of your own home.
