What We Do

Friends of the Earth Action has spent 50+ years building political power for the planet.

Friends of the Earth (Action), Inc. provides the extra political muscle to our sister organization, Friends of the Earth US, which is part of the world’s largest grassroots environmental network with more than 70 national groups and thousands of local activist teams across the globe.

For too long, our oceans, forests, wildlife, and communities have been ignored by lawmakers. That’s why we’re fighting to elect environmental champions and pass bold policies that put people and the planet ahead of corporate profits. Which is why we help people across the country engage in the political process. We believe that bold, nationwide action is essential to put the United States, and our planet, on a sustainable path.

Small fixes aren’t enough. We push for bold policies that transform our political and economic systems. Only a strong grassroots movement can challenge the corporations and politicians putting profit over the health of people and the planet.

Elect progressive lawmakers

The climate and biodiversity crises demand leaders who are willing to take bold action.

That’s why we support progressive politicians at all levels of our government who push for the real changes needed to protect our communities and the planet.

Hold politicians accountable

We hold politicians accountable for taking money from Big Oil and Big Ag.

By tracking donations and exposing lawmakers who put corporate profits over people and the planet, we make sure voters know where they stand. Through campaigns and grassroots pressure, we push for leaders who truly serve the public and the environment.

Win campaigns that drive real change

For decades, our climate and communities have been ignored by policymakers.

That’s why we fight for bold, transformative policies to protect the environment, hold polluting corporations accountable, and build the political power needed to achieve large-scale change.

Use our donations wisely

As a C4 political environmental organization, we take our finances seriously and prioritize doing things the right way.

Your support helps us elect leaders who protect the planet, challenge polluters, and build political power. We maintain strong financial stewardship because every dollar you give helps drive the bold, systemic change our planet urgently needs.
