With newly elected Gov. Josh Stein and a one vote veto-sustaining margin in the House, we will be working to support Governor's Stein's pro-climate, pro-environment efforts, and defend against legislative attacks on our environment, our democracy, and our communities. We will also engage strategically on IRA defense and implementation, the Carbon Planning process, and continue our efforts to hold Duke Energy and the NC Utilities Commission accountable for meeting our clean energy goals.
Working to elect climate champion Josh Stein over climate denier Mark Robinson. We will run a canvass with a relational text overlay in vote-dense Mecklenburg County targeting persuadable swing voters. We will also work to gain a veto-proof minority in the state House by winning four of ten competitive House seats with paid media/mail.

NCLCVF programs, PowerUp, Power the Vote, and Power Boards & Commissions, operate at the intersection of environment, economics, racial and economic justice. We make it a priority to build civic participation programs that emphasize year-round engagement, leadership development, and a goal of shifting the balance of power to historically disenfranchised communities of color, often the first and worst impacted by environmental injustices, to enact equitable policies that protect the environment and our communities.
NCLCVF believes that voting is the most important thing you can do for the environment, and has registered 120,000 voters since 2014. Our Power the Vote program prioritizes year-round civic engagement, registering and turning out voters in BIPOC communities/schools, engaging through relational organizing, and promoting our Forever Vote pledge.
NCLCV Foundation connects and engages people to protect our natural environment and promote the well-being of our communities. We turn environmental values into NC priorities by engaging people in the democratic process, organizing in communities to connect environmental policies to people’s daily lives, cultivating environmental leaders, and advocating for policies at the state and local level that protect the health and quality of life for all North Carolinians, with an intentional focus on systematically excluded communities of color.
