MISSION STATEMENT

The purpose of the Democratic Environmental Caucus of Florida is to engage in education and advocacy to promote candidates, legislation, constitutional amendments, government policy, and public practices that slow climate change and that preserve and protect Florida’s natural resources, including, but not limited to, its atmosphere, sea and gulf coasts, aquifers, waterways, wetlands, wild lands, parks, habitats, and wildlife. DECF also pursues environmental justice. Accordingly, DECF works towards a just transition to a green economy to promote and sustain the welfare of all Floridians, including indigenous peoples and all of Florida’s marginalized communities. We want to empower everyone to effectively contribute to solutions to the climate crisis and other environmental challenges.
