Add your name if you agree: Our next president needs to be a real climate leader. That means supporting a Green New Deal to create millions of good jobs transitioning to the 100% renewable energy-powered economy we need, opposing climate-wrecking fossil fuel projects, and refusing to take big polluters’ money.

How are we deciding how each candidate scores on the climate test? Check out our research and tracking document for sources and more information on where the candidates stand.
With your help, we can mobilize to send a clear message to every candidate that our next President needs to pass the 2020 Climate Test. But to get a full field of candidates committed to real climate leadership, we need to take action across the country—especially in key stops on the campaign trail and in candidates’ home districts. We have created a toolkit to help you contact or bird-dog candidates if they’re coming to your community.
