Welcome to the Pinellas Chapter
Recent name change to DECF of Pinellas as other chapters form in the region.
We are strengthening our impact by establishing important working relationships with other caucuses, environmental and civic groups, and elected officials. Some of these groups include Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council, Pinellas County Commissioners, St Petersburg City Council, Tampa Bay Estuary Program, Sierra Club, and St. Petersburg Sustainability Council.
We have a strong Political Action Committee, which solicits the Environmental Voter Pledge from candidates, as well as develops strategies for getting them elected.

We work to bring about legislation, which is favorable to the environment. We partner with the Florida Progressives to develop and update the environmental portion of the spreadsheet, Progressive Priority Legislation.
All are welcome to attend our meetings and we welcome new members. Please keep in touch with the Pinellas Chapter, by following us on facebook.
Search Mobilize to find events and activities to support candidates for elected office. You can adjust the filters to find different types of activities and locations.
