Conservation Voters of Pennsylvania
484 343 1912 245 South 16th Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102 |
The CVPA Story For forty years, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) has filled a unique niche in the environmental community – working to pass laws that will protect the environment and to elect environmental candidates to support such policies. LCV holds politicians accountable for their actions, publishing the National Environmental Scorecard to highlight and record the votes taken by Members of Congress. Employing cutting edge political tactics and technologies, LCV works to support those who have supported clean air, water and energy and to defeat those who put polluters first. In September 2009, LCV began to help build a new state-based partner organization, Conservation Voters of Pennsylvania (CVPA). Using proven methods from successful conservation voter leagues in 33 other states, CVPA will bring the same accountability to PA, strengthening the political power of the environmental community and creating a cleaner, safer Keystone State. A New Kind of Organization Unlike most environmental organizations, Conservation Voters of Pennsylvania is organized as a 501(c)(4) organization with an affiliated PAC, meaning that we can participate directly in elections, lobby legislators without limit, and bring a different set of tools to the project of protecting Pennsylvania’s environment. Through a combination of Get Out the Vote efforts, TV & radio ads, online and door-to-door organizing, and next-generation voter targeting, CVPA and its PAC will demonstrate to our legislators that the environmental community can and will determine their job security. |
