Conversations that go deep on the environment, the climate crisis, and the solutions

The Green Voters’ Whisperer.
Millions of Americans list the climate crisis or other environmental issue as their top electoral priority but do not vote. Nathaniel Stinnett knows EXACTLY how to fix this problem and is doing so now. As the founder and executive director of the Environmental Voter Project (EVP), Nathaniel and his team use big data analytics and cutting edge behavioral science to turn these non-voting environmentalists into reliable voters. And they test these methods and have proved they work. In just its first few years, the EVP has seriously succeeded in turning out new environmental voters in local, state and federal elections. In the 2020 presidential election, the EVP turned out hundreds of thousands of environmental voters who formerly were non-voters, including far more voters in Georgia and Arizona than the margins of victory for Biden in those states.
In this deep conversation on cutting edge voter mobilization, Nathaniel takes us through this fascinating and absolutely critical approach to turning the tide on the politics of the climate crisis. This conversation may give you more hope on the climate crisis than anything you have heard in a very long time.

““There is a huge latent pool of political power out there in these millions of non-voting environmentalists. Our ultimate goal is to build up so much electoral demand for environmental leadership that politicians have to follow, or they’re not going to win elections anymore.””
