National Environmental Groups Endorse Kamala Harris for President
WASHINGTON 350 Action, Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund, Clean Water Action, Climate Hawks Vote, Food and Water Action, and Friends of the Earth Action are proud to announce their endorsement of Kamala Harris for President in the 2024 election. Kamala Harris’s environmental record during her time as California’s US Senator, as well her role as Vice President in the Biden Administration, demonstrates she will be a promising champion for the environment, climate, and countless frontline communities across the country.
The endorsing organizations issued the following statements:
Erich Pica, President of Friends of the Earth Action, said:
“Friends of the Earth Action is excited to endorse Kamala Harris for President of the United States. At this pivotal moment for our country and the planet, we have the opportunity to vote for historic progress and climate action. We are not going back to an era dominated by fossil fuel interests, corporate greed, and disenfranchisement. Instead, we’re looking forward to building a healthy and just future with Vice President Harris. We urge every voter who cares about our democracy, our freedoms, and our environment to support Kamala Harris for President this November.”
From Jeff Ordower of 350 Action:
“350 Action is excited to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for President of the United States. VP Harris is part of the administration that invested in renewable energy through the historic Inflation Reduction Act, and she has a history of taking on Big Oil and advocating for Environmental Justice. We look forward to a Harris administration that makes further progress on climate. As a global climate movement, we know Harris represents not just the ability to make progress in the US, but globally as well. For those of who care about democracy, climate and decreased corporate capture of our government, Kamala Harris is our only choice. 350 Action will be doing all we can to support Harris’ election.”
Kierán Suckling, President of the Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund, said:
“We’re proud to stand with Vice President Harris, who has the vision and leadership to take the bold actions this country needs to tackle the extinction and climate emergencies. The Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund urges everyone who cares about our planet, environmental justice, women’s rights, civil rights and our democracy to get out and vote for Kamala Harris to be our next president. Harris will lead us toward a brighter future for our children and grandchildren, and put the nightmare of Trump behind us.”
From Jeff Carter, President and CEO at Clean Water Action:
“Vice President Harris is a visible leader in the Biden-Harris Administration’s successful work to address environmental injustice, tackle the climate crisis, hold polluters accountable, reduce water pollution, and ensure clean drinking water for all. From championing historic clean water infrastructure investments to fostering solutions to get lead out of drinking water, Vice President Harris’ commitment to environmental and health protections have made a real difference in people’s lives. We urge voters to support a cleaner and healthier future by voting for Kamala Harris for President in November.”
Wenonah Hauter, Founder and Executive Director of Food and Water Action, said:
“Kamala Harris’s record provides a stark contrast with Donald Trump and the far-right, pro-polluter Project 2025. She has long championed bold clean water legislation, and the Biden-Harris administration provided a dramatic boost to clean energy, tackled corporate consolidation, and passed an infrastructure law that will provide much-needed resources to protecting clean water.
“Of course, much more needs to be done, and Harris’s positions do not yet go far enough to tackle the existential threats to our food, water and climate. But with a President Harris, we will have a chance to build the political power to move the bold climate initiatives we need. Four more years of Trump and Project 2025 will further accelerate an already escalating climate crisis and eviscerate important protections for our food and water.”
RL Miller, President of Climate Hawks Vote, said:
“We’re breaking our usual rule of not endorsing in presidential elections, given our strong history with Kamala Harris (we endorsed her in her 2016 Senate race), her track record in taking on Big Oil and holding polluters accountable, and the extraordinary moment of this election. We are climate hawks who vote, and we’ll be flocking together for Kamala Harris.”
