Vote for Climate and Public Lands in the 2026 Midterms

With the 2026 midterm elections approaching, how can we make sure our votes reflect our values?

In this episode, we explore why civic engagement matters and how understanding climate science, environmental policy, and candidates’ records can help us make more informed decisions at the ballot box.

Featured guests:

Alex Lee, Director of Science and Education at Protect Our Winters

Lindsey Halvorson, Senior Director of Campaigns and Advocacy at the Protect Our Winters Action Fund

As we head into the 2026 midterms, this episode is a reminder that the decisions made by our elected officials shape our environmental future and that participating in our democracy is one way we can help shape it, too.
