Clean and Prosperous California

$47,000 Raised | $16,500 Match Remaining
California faces severe climate impacts and risks falling behind on its climate targets while withstanding federal challenges. Cap-and-trade’s contribution is unique—no other policy delivers cheaper reductions, generates revenue, and drives innovation. But cap-and-trade isn’t a blunt tool running on autopilot; it has dozens of features that need thoughtful stewardship. We do not have time for wrong answers to fundamentally economic questions like how cap-and-trade can meet aggressive targets, protect consumers from price increases, and decarbonize industry. Economists are often disconnected from policy, leaving crucial insights untapped to society’s detriment. CapCA provides an unparalleled strategic platform for economic expertise to inform policy, address people’s needs, and meet climate goals.

Resources Legacy Fund

$82,000 Raised | $59,000 Match Remaining
California is at a crossroads in the climate fight. As a clean energy pioneer, the state made history in 2012 by launching its cap-and-trade program. With the program set to expire in 2030, the oil industry is doing everything it can to weaken the reauthorization progress. Meanwhile, frontline communities continue to bear the brunt of pollution and climate-driven disasters. As the legislature works to extend the program through 2045, environmental justice advocates are mobilizing to ensure that equity, not industry influence, shapes California’s clean energy future. Funds raised will support additional resources for a communications campaign led by environmental justice advocates.

Extreme Weather Survivors

$119,405 Raised | Fundraising Goal Achieved!
Extreme Weather Survivors (EWS) is a national network of people directly impacted by wildfires, floods, hurricanes, and other climate-fueled disasters—92 million Americans each year. Despite this escalating crisis, climate change remains dangerously underestimated by the public and under-prioritized by policymakers. EWS is changing that. Their work expands the reach of the climate movement by engaging people far beyond its traditional base and by ensuring those with lived experience help shape the policies that affect their communities. By empowering survivors as trusted messengers through trauma-informed support and advocacy training, EWS is building a powerful force for change—one that shifts public perception, drives bold policy, and brings new voices into the climate movement. EWS is seeking support for their work to make polluters pay in California.

$83,210 Raised | $8,395 Match Remaining
EnviroVoters is seeking support to pass a number of urgent climate bills that would make Big Oil pay for the damage their pollution has caused, including disasters like the LA wildfires.
