Go Vote!

The upcoming election will set the course for critical national issues, including the future of our ocean, waves, and beaches. As a Surfrider supporter, your vote has the power to shape this pivotal moment.

Forty years ago, Surfrider was founded on the principle that civic engagement is essential to safeguarding our natural resources. While we're dedicated to advancing smart environmental policies, not partisan politics, we recognize that elections are a fundamental part of our democratic process.

Every day, our elected leaders make decisions that impact the health of our coastlines. By passing laws and approving funding to address issues like ocean water quality and beach access, they play a critical role in either protecting or neglecting these precious resources.

At Surfrider, we believe the ideals we fight for — the protection and enjoyment of our ocean, waves, and beaches for all people — transcend party lines. Our role is to promote the stewardship of our coasts through positive action, no matter the election outcome. We urge you to make your voice heard on November 5th by casting your vote. As World War II refugee and suffrage movement devotee Lotte E. Scharfman said, "Democracy is not a spectator sport."
