International Rivers' mission is to protect rivers and defend the rights of communities that depend on them.Together with our global partners, we seek a world where healthy rivers and the rights of local communities are valued and protected. We envision a world where water and energy needs are met without degrading nature or increasing poverty, and where people have the right to participate in decisions that affect their lives. As the only international organization focusing on protecting rivers and human rights, International Rivers plays a critical and unique role in shifting the water and energy paradigm away from destructive dams and towards more sustainable options. Through research, education and advocacy we generate international awareness of the environmental, economic and social consequences of large dams, and we empower our global colleagues to participate in this effort. We provide policy analysis critiquing hydro-development and have influenced the policies of companies, governments, and financial institutions active in the dam sector.

Conservative Texans for Energy Innovation Foundation (CTEI) is a non-profit clean energy education and advocacy organization. Our purpose is to promote energy innovation and clean energy policies grounded in the conservative principle of common sense, market-based solutions that allow fair competition and provide greater access to clean, affordable and reliable energy.

We are a citizen action group committed to requiring local candidates to take action on the climate crisis. As climate crisis activists, we recognize the need to move the climate discussion out to the community. This is a non-partisan grassroots effort to reach beyond the 'choir'. The current political division has made this into an 'issue'; in fact, it is a worldwide crisis and the victims are our children and all living organisms. We see this as ordinary people like ourselves using our vote to override the fossil fuel industries' 1/2 billion dollar political lasso that effectively prevents elected officials from doing their job.
