Nine Democratic presidential hopefuls are participating in the effort so far.
A trio of dominant environmental political groups are joining forces to form a fundraising power-base for the eventual Democratic nominee and boost candidates embracing bold climate action during the primary.
Donors will also be able to give to individual nominees that have committed to tackling climate change as soon as they get in office. At leasthave already met the qualifications: Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Senators Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Kamala Harris of California, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, and Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
They also committed to rejecting political action committee contributions from the oil, gas, and coal industries. However, this commitment does not go as far as the No Fossil Fuel Money pledge, which excludes nominees from accepting donations over $200 from oil, gas, and coal executives. This slightly different criteria explains why O’Rourke, who unveiledthis week, will be able to fundraise through GiveGreen but hasn’t signed the main money pledge.
In a nod to being the youngest nominee, Buttigieg wrote: “My generation will be on the business end of climate change, and in fact we are already seeing its enormous impacts right now in our communities.”when he announced his bid in March, and expanded on this sentiment in his survey response. “I am the only candidate for president who has declared unequivocally that this must be the highest priority for the next administration,” Inslee wrote.
