Story: We wanted to share with you a little bit more about this organization so you can learn what kind of work they do, and what's their founding story: The Alliance for Climate Protection was founded in 2006 by Al Gore, Nobel Laureate and former Vice President of the United States. With more than 5,000,000 members worldwide, the Alliance is a unique non-profit, non-partisan organization that is committed to educating the global community about the urgency of implementing comprehensive solutions to the climate crisis. Through its work with The Climate Project, Repower America, the WE Campaign, the Reality Coalition, and its affiliated organization, The Climate Protection Action Fund, the Alliance seeks to present choices and offer changes that will protect our planet for future generations. The Alliance draws together a diverse range of individuals and organizations by acting on its belief that the climate crisis impacts every one of us and transcends differences between political parties, faiths, geographies and cultures. The Alliance regularly partners with organizations from a broad cross-section of society including representatives of labor, faith, business, schools, women, agriculture, sportsmen, and many other communities. In doing so, the Alliance brings together faces and voices in a way that diversifies and strengthens the global network of concerned individuals who want to take action now on climate issues. The Alliance is guided by a prestigious, bi-partisan Board of Directors that includes three Nobel Prize winners and accomplished veterans from the worlds of business, politics and environmental advocacy.
