Green Action

Austin Environmental Democrats is an advocacy group that works to educate our members, inform our elected officials, and create a forum where Austinites can come together and learn more about the issues impacting our surroundings.

We pass resolutions and advocate for them, endorse primary candidates who are truly green, and work together as volunteers for important green projects around Austin.

You can get involved in our decision-making by becoming a member.
