About Us

The LCV Education Fund is fighting for a more just and equitable democratic process – because we need a healthy democracy to fight for a healthy environment.

Our Vision For A More Just & Equitable Planet

The LCV Education Fund envisions a world in which tackling the climate crisis, confronting environmental injustice, and strengthening our democracy lead to cleaner and healthier communities, good, well-paying jobs, and a more just, equitable, and sustainable planet for all.

Who We Are & What We Do

We need a healthy democracy to fight for a healthy environment. A more just and equitable democracy that works for everyone is necessary to achieve meaningful progress on the climate crisis and to confront environmental injustices.

To address these interconnected challenges, LCV Education Fund works to increase civic participation by:

LCV Education Fund’s efforts to promote greater civic engagement and increase participation in the democratic process are rooted in an understanding of racial, social, and environmental justice. We make a special commitment to work in collaboration with the communities most impacted by injustice and inequity in our democratic processes, including Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and other communities of color, youth communities, and immigrant communities. Our long history of public education and civic engagement puts us at the center of the fight for cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable communities and a more just and equitable democracy for everyone.
