ENVIROVOTERS STATEMENT ON THE PROTECTING AMERICA’S WILDERNESS & PUBLIC LANDS ACT PASSING THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Oakland, CA – The California Environmental Voters (EnviroVoters) released the following statement regarding landmark conservation legislation passing the House of Representatives.
Statement from Mary Creasman, Chief Executive Officer, EnviroVoters:
“This bill will protect more than a million acres of public lands and well over 500 miles of rivers in California, help address climate change, and make the outdoors more accessible to all. That’s a win for all of us and an important investment in climate action, especially as we work to meet the Biden administration’s goal of protecting 30% of our lands and waters by 2030. We are grateful for the leadership of our Representatives in the House and we are eager for this effort to move forward in the Senate.”
ABOUT CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL VOTERS
California Environmental Voters (formerly the California League of Conservation Voters) believes the climate crisis is here and this moment requires transformative change. California has the policy solutions to stop climate change but lacks the political will to do it at the rate and scale that’s necessary. EnviroVoters exists to build the political power to solve the climate crisis, advance justice, and create a roadmap for global action. We organize voters, elect and train candidates, and hold lawmakers accountable for bold policy change. We won’t stop until we have resilient, healthy, thriving communities, and a democracy and economy that is just and sustainable for all.
