NextGen Climate Action is a non-partisan, San Francisco-based organization focused on bringing climate change to the forefront of America’s political dialogue.
Founded by investor and philanthropist Tom Steyer in 2013, we act politically to avert climate disaster and preserve American prosperity. Working at every level, we are committed to supporting candidates, elected officials and policymakers across the country that will take bold action on climate change—and to exposing those who deny reality and cater to special interests.There is a great article about it here in the NY Times.
Excessive influence of money in politics is not the ideal way to do this, but at least it's a welcome sign of the changing times.
Yes, this is the name I was trying to remember on Sunday night. He's pretty impressive. You're right--it's unfortunate that our political system runs on big money. But right now I'm thankful for Steyer's money (and intelligence and conscience).
