It was an honor to give a @TEDTalks as part of @TEDCountdown on @Enviro_Voter's cutting-edge work + the counter-intuitive ways we've found to get millions of first-time climate voters to the polls.
It's only 11 mins. I'd appreciate your time & thoughts.

In the House Republican Conference meeting this morning, Washington State @RepBaumgartner exhorted his colleagues in the room not to leak what's going on in the meeting to reporters.
He recommended they hold House Republican Conference meetings in a SCIF.
UPDATE: “Climate voters turned out in record numbers for these midterm elections…These results aren’t just good news for the climate, they’re a sign we’ve all been waiting for that the climate movement is starting to wield real political power,” says @NCStinn
I run a national nonprofit that mobilizes infrequent voters.
Just since Friday, our volunteers have had 35,000+ conversations w/ voters and I'll say this: there are MILLIONS of Americans still unsure if they're going to vote tomorrow.
Your time volunteering tomorrow is worth it
Let's hear it for our incredible Allegheny County, PA canvassers who sure earned their candy today! They're making sure every climate voter gets to the polls!
Are you ready for Day 1 of GOTV? Join us Friday for a shift...or two...or three, to help us FLOOD the polls with climate voters!
Each shift starts with a training for those who need one.

Just getting this in ahead of time:
Next week, I will immediately vomit on the first person who says "And now the Presidential election has officially begun!"
"The president temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether."

🚨 NEBRASKA Voter File Update:
90,586 Nebraskans have already voted early, 2,506 of whom (2.8%) are climate-first voters mobilized by the Environmental Voter Project. These voters just cast their first-ever midterm ballots! Let's hear it for our awesome voter-turnout volunteers!
“'The climate hushers are dead wrong – voters want to hear more about climate change, not less, and they will reward politicians who are strong climate leaders,' said Nathaniel Stinnett, executive director of the Environmental Voter Project."
