2024 General Election Federal Candidate Endorsements

In the 2024 General Election, WE ACT 4 Change proudly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for President of the United States, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for Vice President of the United States, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand for United State Senator for New York, and Congressmember Adriano Espaillat for United State Representative for New York’s District 13.  These candidates have the best track record on the environmental and social justice issues impacting the communities in Northern Manhattan. And we are proud to report that Senator Gillibrand and Representative Espaillat both won reelection.

Our Environmental Justice Endorsements

WE ACT 4 Change assess candidates for its endorsements for elections impacting the communities in Northern Manhattan based on public candidates forums, which invite all candidates regardless of party to participate, along with a survey of questions regarding environmental and climate justice issues. The WE ACT 4 Change Civic Engagement team provides the results of these surveys along with summaries from the candidates forums to the WE ACT 4 Change Board of Directors, making recommendations to endorse or abstain from endorsing a specific candidate in any given election. Those candidates who receive an endorsement are then informed, and WE ACT 4 Change communicates that endorsement via its website, email newsletter, and social media channels.
