“I’m not a numbers person, but I love numbers people”: An EVP Volunteer Profile

EVP uses data analytics to identify non-voting environmentalists across 17 states and then applies behavioral science-informed messaging to turn those environmentalists into better voters. To date, EVP has helped turn over 1,030,000 non-voting environmentalists into “super-voters” who now vote in every election.
