Voting the Climate means voting to eliminate local emissions causing suffering around the planet and here at home. It means prioritizing investment in San Antonio neighborhoods that are least able to recover from the heat-related disasters we can’t avoid.

It means waking up to the fact of our utter dependence on one another and taking responsibility for our individual actions. It means demanding candidates place planetary security top of their agenda and holding every elected official accountable to vote the climate every day they are in office.
