One of the most important climate actions we can take is to vote for candidates who, regardless of their political affiliations, understand and accept the science behind climate change and are willing to make mitigating it their top priority. In this talk, we will learn about a resource that will help us evaluate how politicians rank in their commitment to fighting the climate crisis, protecting the environment, and ensuring environmental justice.
