About Us
We are Rachel’s Action Network.
Rachel’s Action Network (RAN), a nonpartisan 501(c)4 named in honor of Rachel Carson, empowers women to influence the political process and supports women environmental champions running for office. We endorse candidates who champion our policy priorities, publish a report on women’s environmental leadership, and host educational events for our members with women policy leaders.
Founded in 2004, RAN began as a political advocacy program of our sister organization, Rachel’s Network, a 501(c)3 that builds productive alliances among women philanthropists who work at the intersection of philanthropy, conservation, and women’s leadership.

About Rachel Carson
Rachel Carson was a scientist, ecologist, and writer who courageously advocated for policies that protected human health and the environment. Her research and writing spurred the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and the modern environmental movement. Buoyed by her vision and audacity, we continue her legacy of fighting for the safety of our communities and our planet.
