Protecting Democracy
We work hard to protect your civil rights, defend democracy, and hold lawmakers accountable to put people and the environment first.
Why Democracy Matters For Clean Air
Democracy gives people a voice in decisions that affect their environment and every day life.
When people can vote, speak out, access information, and hold decision-makers accountable, they can help shape policies that protect clean air, public health, and future generations.
Without a functioning democratic process, change cannot happen. The health of our environment depends upon the health of our democracy.
How We Fight to Protect Your Rights
At Clean Air Action, we:
educate lawmakers on environmental justice and civil rights issues that are important to communities,
work to pass legislation that strengthens and uplifts people and the planet,
empower residents to take actions that protect their health, families, freedoms, and communities,
support and endorse candidates who choose collaboration over division and advocate for policies that move our country forward, and more.
Your Voice Can Help Protect Democracy
Your voice has power and there are many ways to use it to help drive meaningful change, including:
→ supporting advocacy groups,
→ attending local meetings or public hearings,
→ demanding action and holding your elected officials accountable by sending them a message,
→ voting, and more.
Voting, especially in local and state elections, is one of the most powerful ways to shape the future of your community and protect a strong democracy.
