The NRDC action fund's mission is to build political support in the united states for protecting the planet and its people. We work to further the policy goals of the natural resources defense council. During the fiscal year that ended JUNE 30, 2023, the NRDC action fund worked to expand and mobilize our influential constituencies, experts, community leaders, and others to champion clean AIR and water, public health, biodiversity, and a stable climate. We lobbied decision makers on the federal and state levels to protect and strengthen environmental policies. We held elected officials accountable by educating constituents when their congressional representatives voted for or against environmental priorities and exposing those who sided with polluters rather than the public good. We supported political candidates who stood up for the environment and equitable climate action and worked to help elect climate champions to congress.
