Our Mission
The Arizona League of Conservation Voters (AZLCV) is one of Arizona’s largest statewide member-supported conservation groups.
- We work to protect our land, air, water and quality of life for all Arizonans, present and future
- We do this by electing pro-conservation leaders and advocating for good conservation policy
- We are non-partisan and non-profit and our work includes:
- Endorsing and working to elect pro-conservation candidates, including state legislators and statewide candidates, including corporation commissioners,
- Educating elected officials and their constituents on conservation issues important to the AZLCV’s members,
- Lobbying on behalf of reasonable, common sense conservation measures,
- Holding elected officials accountable for their performance with our annual Legislative Scorecard,
- Maintaining a political action committee (PAC) that supports pro-conservation candidates.
The Arizona League of Conservation Voters is a network of a 501(c)4 organization with affiliated Political Action Committee, a 501(c)3 educational organization. Contributions to the Arizona League of Conservation Voters are not tax deductible.
