Fall 2025 Campaigns Lineup
Every year, Green Corps organizers step into communities across the country to take on some of the most urgent challenges facing our environment. Thanks to your support, they’re building their skills while advancing campaigns that protect wildlife, safeguard our health, and address climate change. Here’s our slate of campaigns this fall!
In Alaska’s Arctic, more than 42 million acres of pristine wilderness provide vital habitat for polar bears, caribou, whales, and migratory birds, while supporting Indigenous communities who have stewarded these lands for millennia. Yet this fragile landscape remains threatened by ongoing oil drilling proposals, where even exploration technologies can cause lasting harm. Our organizers are educating thousands of people from Maine to Texas, showing that what happens in the Arctic affects us all. On behalf of the Arctic Defense Campaign, the team is building a groundswell of support to keep oil and gas rigs out of this irreplaceable landscape once and for all.
Plastic pollution is one of the greatest threats to both human health and the planet. Microplastics have been found in our air, food, even our bloodstreams. Working with the Break Free From Plastics Coalition in Texas and California, Green Corps organizers are connecting the dots between plastic production, toxic chemicals, and public health, and they’re launching a new outreach program to gather household data and build the case for cutting plastic at the source.
In North Carolina and Florida, our organizers are shining a spotlight on the everyday issue of thousands of collisions between drivers and wildlife every year. These crashes take a devastating toll on both people and animals. Fortunately, wildlife crossings can cut collisions by 97%. Working with the Student PIRGs, our organizers and volunteers are calling state legislators to commit $10 million in the state budget for these life-saving corridors.
Meanwhile, in Illinois, wetlands are at risk. Wetlands filter our water, shelter wildlife, and protect against flooding. Our team is working with Illinois PIRG Students to mobilize public support from Chicago to Champagne and calling on Governor Pritzker to be a conservation champion by establishing a comprehensive wetland protection program. The photo below is from the first kickoff meeting for this campaign in Chicago!
In Massachusetts, organizers are continuing work on behalf of MASSPIRG to protect the bees that pollinate our food supply. A loophole in state law undermines existing protections as it allows seeds to be sold while coated with toxic pesticides, and our organizers are mobilizing constituents to make sure Governor Healey closes it this year.
And in Chicago, our team is working with Illinois PIRG’s Safer Cleaner Energy Campaign to tackle utility-driven fossil fuel expansion. Peoples Gas’s costly pipeline replacement program has already driven record rate hikes for residents, while locking the city into decades of fossil fuel dependence. By educating the public and mobilizing opposition ahead of critical hearings this winter, our organizers are making sure consumers know the alternatives to this unaffordable and unsustainable program.
Better yet, while organizers and their volunteer teams are making an impact on these campaigns, they are honing their skills for campaign planning, storytelling, recruitment and much more. Stay tuned for more exciting updates on these efforts this fall!
