Vote the Coast is a grassroots, political action organization whose purpose is to achieve
coastal protection and conservation through knowledge, public education, a strategic assertion
of power, forming alliances with other progressive causes and networking with environmental
activists to develop a coordinated policy of coastal protection.

Vote the Coast supports those candidates for public office who are guided by the principles of
ecological sustainability, environmental justice, public education, participatory governance,
commitment and ideological integrity.

Vote the Coast was created to educate voters to the importance of the protection of California's
fragile coastal resources and to let them know how their vote affects coastal protection up and
down the coast from San Diego to Big Sur to Eureka.

Vote the Coast is the only organization focused on the political arena as it pertains to coastal
protection. Vote the Coast relies on volunteers and paid membership to support its work.
