Elected Officials to Protect America

Elected Officials to Protect America (EOPA) is a nonpartisan network of current and former elected officials who care deeply about protecting our lands, waters, and democracy while ensuring environmental justice and solving the climate emergency. EOPA educates lawmakers with our Public Leadership Certificate, informs through value-based multimedia platforms, and mobilizes elected officials to inspire strong environmental policy. Lawmakers who are veterans and elected officials representing frontline communities lead our mission.

Purpose

To protect our people and planet.

Mission

To inspire, train, and organize state and local elected officials to solve the climate crisis, ensure environmental justice, and protect our lands and waters.

Vision

To create a sustainable, just, peaceful, safe, and prosperous world for all people and life, we play a decisive role in turning the political tide to mobilize the full resources of the United States government, economy, and society to lead the world in restoring a safe climate, ensuring environmental justice for all, and protecting life on Earth.

"Let this be the moment history remembers that our public servants across the country rose together to protect and defend our communities, democracy, and living planet that we were entrusted to serve."
