Run On Climate Education Fund focuses on the development and advancement of local level climate policies and programs, and youth leadership development. We've made notable progress in our first 4 years. We've created a bank of the most impactful local climate policies, with resources and examples for each policy, and made it publicly available on our website. We've built a network of current and former policymakers, including 38 local elected officials who are actively advancing some of the most ambitious municipal climate policies ever passed in the US. We support those elected directly and facilitate peer-to-peer support among members.
We've overseen meaningful internships and fellowships for over 200 students and recent graduates and trained hundreds of people in local climate organizing. Our 501(c)4 sibling organization, Run On Climate, has provided meaningful, hands-on support for climate champion candidates running for municipal office.
By investing in Run On Climate Education Fund, your money will directly support our leadership development opportunities and the acceleration of strong municipal climate action.
"Run on Climate has been an essential partner. I can't express my appreciation enough for access to the resources and the Local Climate Policy Network, which have been tremendously helpful in understanding how to address the climate crisis through meaningful legislation. Belonging to a group of like-minded officials across the country is a beautiful reminder that when climate dread and isolation show up, I'm surrounded by a village." - Shontel Lewis, Denver City Council
"The climate movement needs champions in local offices across the U.S. We have to support those leaders so they can successfully pass aggressive climate policy. We're fortunate to have ROC leading the way" - Bill McKibben
