It’s late afternoon in a strip mall on the north side of Tucson, in a storefront with a faded sign out front that says Kards 4 You. Now, just a few days before the election, it’s a temporary campaign office for CADC LLC, a company that runs a field operation for the League of Conservation Voters Victory Fund, which campaigns for pro-climate candidates.
About 35 paid canvassers have shown up for work, the most the group has seen for a single shift. The canvassers range in age from early 20s to late 60s. They are Black, Latinx, Asian, Indigenous, white. They all wear yellow safety vests with big green stickers that say, “Climate Vote.”
