Will Climate Matter in the 2020 Election?
When: Wed, Jun 3 @ 4:00 pm
Where: Online via livestream (FREE)
RSVP: We invite you to register event to receive an email with links to the live stream and a reminder to tune in. Register at link at the bottom of page.
The 2020 elections have moved climate change to the political mainstage in ways Americans haven’t seen before. For the first time, candidates were competing to declare themselves “the climate candidate” and debated their action plans with compelling urgency.
But with the emergence of the coronavirus pandemic, skyrocketing unemployment and an economic shutdown, climate once again threatens to get pushed to the political back burner.
How will climate be covered in the elections? Will President Trump’s stance on climate hurt Republicans in down-ballot races?
Join us with Vanessa Hauc, journalist and senior correspondent at Noticias Telemundo, and Nathaniel Stinnett, founder and executive director of the Environmental Voter Project, for a conversation on climate coverage in the race for the presidency.
SPEAKERS:
Vanessa Hauc
Journalist and Senior Correspondent, Noticias Telemundo

CNN: The sixth mass extinction is happening faster than expected. Scientists say it's our fault
"Humans have already wiped out hundreds of species and pushed many more to the brink of extinction through wildlife trade, pollution, habitat loss and the use of toxic substances. But the findings published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) show that the rate at which species are dying out has accelerated in recent decades."

NAACP Environmental and Climate Justice Program
**Created to support community leadership in addressing this human and civil rights issue**
"Environmental injustice, including the proliferation of climate change, has a disproportionate impact on communities of color and low income communities in the United States and around the world."
"Race – even more than class – is the number one indicator for the placement of toxic facilities in this country. And communities of color and low income communities are often the hardest hit by climate change."
