Welcome!

If you are here, you have viewed The White House Effect and are ready to take action!

Why The White House Effect is so important for the 2026 elections: Under the current GOP-majority federal administration, we are witnessing in real time an aggressive rollback of progressive climate legislation and an acceleration of approvals of new fossil fuel projects. FEMA relief has been rolled back significantly as extreme weather and climate disasters increase. The EPA’s landmark and foundational endangerment finding making connecting carbon emissions to climate change has been repealed. Trump is now rebranding the harmful fossil fuel coal as “beautiful clean coal” and pushing for new projects and infrastructure to expand the coal industry.

The GOP has demonstrated their ability to unify and mobilize a successful organized front with core issues and bottomline non-negotiables. Can we make ambitious climate policy non-negotiable as well?

The world is at a critical impasse with climate. The global temperature has increased by 1.1C to 1.4C between 2015 and 2023. The rate of seal level rise has nearly doubled compared to the 20th century. Glaciers are melting in the Arctic at an alarming rate. Greenhouse gas emissions are at an all time high. Extreme weather events are becoming more and more frequent throughout the globe leading to the loss of thousands of lives and irreparable infrastructure damage.

As a voter, you have the power to make your voice heard at the polls. Take the pledge to Be A Climate Voter for 2026 and beyond. Taking the pledge will provide you with updates on local campaigns, an understanding of where candidates stand on climate-related issues, and opportunities to participate in local elections.

The Voter Effect is one of the most powerful tools we have. Let’s make it count in 2026!
