It drives environmental progress by influencing policy on the local, state, and national levels. The League and its affiliated state leagues work to promote pro-environment policies by building an ambitious grassroots movement focused on curbing the impacts of climate change.
Berger’s grant to the League of Conservation Voters supports efforts to urge the Biden Administration and Congress to take action on climate policy by investing in clean energy, healthier water systems, sustainable agriculture, and coastal restoration programs.
