LOS ANGELES, CA – California Environmental Voters (EnviroVoters) today announced that the organization’s Chief Executive Officer, Mary Creasman, will address the California Democratic Party Convention this weekend.
Mary Creasman will address delegates about the urgent need for the state to act on the climate crisis. She will highlight that California is not on track to meet its current goals to address the crisis and has not passed significant climate legislation in several years. Mary will issue a strong call to action to advocates, activists, and elected officials to act on climate.
“We know that incremental attempts to mitigate the effects of climate change are not sufficient,” said Mary Creasman, Chief Executive Officer, EnviroVoters. “The time is now for transformational, systemic change. The good news is this is an opportunity to reimagine our state and address environmental and economic injustices.”
In the coming weeks, the organization will also release its annual Environmental Scorecard, which rates the actions of the California State Legislature and the Governor on their environmental actions each legislative year. Its analysis also looks at how many state legislators accept contributions directly from the oil industry or major oil industry Political Action Committees (PACs).
Event Details:
Saturday, March 5, 2022 at approximately Noon PT

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.
