Our Purpose<\/h2>\r\nIt has become increasingly clear that relying on the politicians in office is no longer sufficient to advance environmental and climate justice initiatives. We also need to have a voice in who gets elected to these positions, to ensure that they are willing to take action on these issues.\r\n\r\nThat is why we have launched WE ACT to Vote, an Independent Expenditure Committee that builds and leverages political power in our fight to achieve environmental and climate justice for communities in Northern Manhattan.\r\n

What is an Independent Expenditure Committee?<\/h2>\r\nAn Independent Expenditure Committee allows us to make expenditures \u2013 spend money \u2013 to advocate for the election of a candidate. These expenditures are not subject to any limitations in terms of the amount we spend, which gives us greater latitude when making endorsements.\r\n\r\nWE ACT to Vote is affiliated with WE ACT 4 Change Inc.<\/a>, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit founded in 2020 and WE ACT for Environmental Justice<\/a>, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1988."}}]},"yoast_head":"\nAbout Us -
