Green California
Green California successfully brings together a broad range of California’s environmental advocacy community to work together to achieve our vision of a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable California.
Green California supports the environmental movement by developing and providing tools and resources that focus the collective strength of our community in support of policies that will bring us closer to our vision. Green California participants actively work to educate and inform our members, the public, and decision makers to help facilitate the enactment of large-scale policy change that addresses significant issues, such as global warming, environmental budget priorities, and other issues of community concern.

CLCV Ed Fund works with Green California participants, consisting of over 50 organizations from around the state, to advance a strong environmental policy agenda, by:
- Developing informational tools, such as compiling dossiers of regional and legislator-specific information, providing organizations with and educating them on how to use demographic information about their members, and creating an environmental Website for advocates to share and store information and support letters;
- Conducting relationship-building activities, such as arranging and coordinating meetings with legislators, hosting events with legislators, organizing an environmental advocacy day, and convening a statewide environmental summit;
- Organizing regular meetings of environmental advocates to identify areas of shared interest, share intelligence and resources, and cooperate on strategic initiatives; and
- Structuring committee meetings based on issue areas to evaluate environmental legislation, strengthen environmental policies, and increase improve communication.
