MLCV will develop a democracy outreach plan for 2025 municipal and 2026 midterm elections that includes earned and paid media, in-person voter education, relationship-building, clerk engagement, civics education, and rapid response measures. It will also research, test, and elevate messaging that more effectively inspires voters in low-turnout districts to vote while engaging youth at college campuses. Plans will be coordinated with coalition partners to drive a dynamic, pro-environment voter effort in 2025 and 2026.
MLCV is scaling current canvassing efforts to train youth organizers through their intensive “Our Water Activist” program and by coordinating with Student Organizations on targeted campuses, empowering youth leaders with the skills, resources and training they need to organize and mobilize their peers to vote for pro-climate/democracy champions.
Michigan LCV works to protect the air, land, and water in communities all across Michigan by activating voters to elect and hold accountable public officials who fight for an environment that sustains the health and well-being of us all.

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.

YCV staff and volunteers reach voters in the communities where they live and work across the state of NC through high traffic canvassing, clipboarding, tabling at events, group and classroom presentations in high schools and on college campuses, relational organizing, GOTV calls and text messaging, and 1-1 conversations with voters.
You Can Vote (YCV) was founded following Shelby County v. Holder, 133 S. Ct. 2612, the Supreme Court decision rolling back key protections of the Voting Rights Act. Our mission is to train and mobilize volunteers to educate, register, and empower all North Carolina citizens to successfully cast their ballot. Our programs combat discriminatory election laws by building a broader and more engaged electorate across the state of NC. YCV serves populations whose votes have been historically suppressed including people of color, low-income people, people who are currently and formerly incarcerated, people with disabilities, and young people.
