The NRDC Action Fund’s mission is to achieve the passage of legislation that jump-starts the clean energy economy, reduces pollution, and sustains vibrant communities for all Americans. Now is the time for leadership and action from our elected officials — our current goal is a comprehensive clean energy policy that will repower our economy and fuel our future.

To that end we:

• ensure that candidates for office are informed about and discussing our priority issues.
• work to educate and mobilize voters through a range of tools including the social web.
• cultivate and nurture strategic political partnerships that endure.

We encourage people from across the country to join us in our efforts. Click here to sign up and add your voice.

Please note: the NRDC Action Fund is an affiliated but separate organization from the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). As a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization, the NRDC Action Fund engages in various advocacy and political activities for which the Natural Resources Defense Council, a 501(c)(3) organization, faces certain legal limitations or restrictions.
