Climate Power and LCV’s $10 Million Nationwide July Paid Media Campaign will Launch Across 16 States and 23 Congressional Districts
Washington, D.C. – Today, Climate Power and the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) announced the launch of new TV and digital ads in Nevada. These ads are part of an additional $10 million paid media boost to their nationwide Great American Build campaign. As Nevada and much of the country is gripped by climate-change fueled extreme weather and heat, new cable, broadcast, and digital ads will underscore the need for Congress to take immediate, bold climate action to create millions of good-paying, union jobs in the clean energy sector, prioritize environmental justice for communities of color most harmed by toxic pollution, and confront climate change.

In Nevada, ads will run on TV and digital as part of the $10 million nationwide campaign that includes national cable ads, Washington, D.C. ads, and additional ads thanking members of Congress for fighting for climate and environmental justice and encouraging them to get this done in 16 states and 23 congressional districts. The campaign begins as members of Congress are home for the July recess and then return to D.C. to continue work on infrastructure and economic recovery legislation.
This new spending over the next six weeks comes on top of nearly $10 million in paid media spending by the groups since January. This also comes on top of a new $8 million field organizing effort announced last week by LCV.
“Record-breaking temperatures, out of control wildfires, and historic droughts prove we are running out of time to act on the climate crisis. These disastrous events are ringing alarm bells and are calling us to take bold and immediate action on climate, clean energy, jobs, and justice,” said Nevada Conservation League Executive Director Paul Selberg. “We are excited to see our national partner LCV run these timely ads highlighting the opportunities a clean energy economy would bring to Nevada — including high-quality, union jobs. We look forward to working with our federal delegation to continue the fight for historic climate legislation that meets this moment with investments at the scale that science and justice demand.”
“We are out of time to act on the climate crisis and environmental justice and voters across the country know it,” said LCV Senior Vice President of Campaigns Pete Maysmith. “It’s imperative that Congress invests in climate, clean energy and high-quality union jobs at the scale science and justice demand in order to meet the moment, put our nation on the path to 100% carbon-free energy powering our electricity grid and new cars, buses, and buildings by 2035, and build healthy, safe communities.”
“This is our climate moment,” said Climate Power executive director Lori Lodes. “Climate-fueled extreme weather events, including fires, droughts, and storms, are battering communities across this country. The climate crisis is real and we have the workforce to fix it. The U.S. House and Senate must pass a strong reconciliation package that delivers on President Biden’s promise of 100% clean electricity and reducing pollution.”
