Reports to: Director of Civic Engagement
Conservation Voters of PA is the statewide political voice for the environment. We elect environmentally responsible candidates to state and local offices, advocate for strong environmental policies, and hold our elected officials accountable to safeguard the health of our communities, the beauty of our state, and the strength of our economy.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) efforts matter to CVPA because pollution and the impacts of climate change disproportionately impact communities of color. Yet our state constitution establishes clean air, water, and land as a right of ALL Pennsylvanians - not just those with the most power, influence, money, or education. Leaders in frontline communities, which are often communities of color, have been doing climate justice work for decades, and people of color are passionate supporters of environmental policy change. CVPA can and must learn from and follow these communities, while leveraging our strengths and connections when asked in order to help ensure that those most impacted communities are at and heard at the decision-making table.
