Georgia Conservation Voters fights to protect Georgia’s air, water, and land by changing who holds power and how decisions get made. They organize communities across the state, focusing on young people, people of color, and women who’ve been left out of environmental decisions, to demand action on climate and clean energy. The organization tracks how legislators vote on environmental issues and endorses candidates who’ll stand up to polluters, giving voters a clear picture of who’s fighting for them.
Georgia Conservation Voters holds elected officials accountable through legislative scorecards and candidate endorsements, helping voters identify climate champions at the ballot box. Through their PSC Accountability Project, Georgia Conservation Voters created a dedicated website tracking commissioner decisions and utility donations, organized thousands of residents to speak out at hearings, and mobilized communities through their “Don’t Raise My Bill” campaign. They’re pushing commissioners to invest in clean, affordable energy like community solar instead of costly fossil fuel projects.
Georgia Conservation Voters connects climate action directly to democracy, recognizing that protecting voting rights and increasing civic participation are essential to winning environmental victories.
