Advocacy

Green America is a national, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, membership organization founded in 1982. Our mission is to harness economic power—the strength of consumers, investors, businesses, and the marketplace—to create a socially just and environmentally sustainable society.

What Makes Green America Unique

Greenovate Boston is the City's community-wide initiative to engage all Bostonians in helping the City meet its climate and sustainability goals, while continuing to make Boston a thriving, healthy, and innovative city.

By laying out the necessary steps to reduce the causes of and to prepare for climate change, Boston's Climate Action Plan gives Greenovate Boston a framework for building a greener, healthier, and more prosperous city.

The Environmental Voter Project (EVP) works to get inactive environmentalists to vote.

Polls show that tens of millions of Americans strongly prioritize progressive environmental policies – but, in large numbers, these people do not express this priority at the ballot box.

We use state-of-the-art social-network incentives, big-data analytics, predictive modeling, and voter-mobilization tools to find inactive environmentalists and inspire them to vote - regularly and consistently.

Slow Food's Chicago chapter offers a community garden, over 20 events a year, and provides workshops on local, sustainable food traditions. We strive to create a world in which all people can eat food that's good for them, good for the people who grow it and good for the planet.

ABOUT
The Slow Food movement started in Italy in 1986 as a grassroots response to the increasing industrialization of food and the standardization of taste. Today, Slow Food Chicago is one of the largest chapters of Slow Food USA, with more than 500 members and 5,000 supporters.

League of Conservation Voters works to turn environmental values into national, state and local priorities.

LCV, in collaboration with our state LCV partners, advocates for sound environmental laws and policies, holds elected officials accountable for their votes and actions, and elects pro-environment candidates who will champion our priority issues.
