Our Work

4

Our work started with compiling data across over thirty municipalities to find candidates with bold environmental plans in targeted districts across Massachusetts.

5

Research & Outreach

Using SurveyMonkey, we communicated with every candidate to research their plans for environmental action.

6

We held exciting candidate forums for Boston At-Large and Boston District 9 to foster engagement on issues in energy and environment.

Candidate Forums

(and enjoyed some delicious bakery goods while doing so).

7

We helped 14 endorsed candidates secure a victory through direct campaign action. We knocked doors, made phone-calls, sent out texts, and developed creative strategies to assist campaigns.

Campaign Work

8

We attended events across Massachusetts, such as the Democratic Convention, to advocate for key environmental issues. This fall, we worked to advocate for Offshore Wind.
