Ep 11: Nathaniel Stinnett, Founder and Executive Director of the Environmental Voter Project

In this episode, I interview Nathaniel Stinnett, the Founder and Executive Director of the Environmental Voter Project. Nathaniel Stinnett founded the Environmental Voter Project in 2015 after over a decade of experience as a senior advisor, consultant, and trainer for political campaigns and issue-advocacy nonprofits. Hailed as a "visionary" by The New York Times, and dubbed "The Voting Guru" by Grist magazine, Stinnett is a frequent expert speaker on cutting-edge campaign techniques and the behavioral science behind getting people to vote. In this episode, we discuss: - Nathaniels background in law and politics which led to him founding the Environmental Voter Project - What the Environmental Voter Project is and what kind of work they are doing - Insights into voter behavior and how it factors into climate policy - How voting records and your voting file factors into climate policy regardless of which candidate you support - The results and progress Nathaniel and his team at the Environmental Voter Project have made to date along with their future plans - Ways people can get involved with EVP and Nathaniel’s advice to those looking to join the climate fight You can find me on twitter @jjacobs22 and email at [email protected], where I encourage you to share your feedback on episodes and provide suggestions for future guests or topics you'd like to see covered on the show.
