Other locations for Gore’s appearances are yet to be announced, but the campaign said it will focus on registration in key states, including Texas, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Florida and Nevada.

“We are at a political tipping point, thanks in large part to Greta Thunberg and millions of other young people speaking truth to power,” Gore said in the press release. “With the courage and moral clarity they bring to the climate movement, and the power of grassroots organizing behind them, young people will, I’m confident, be a driving force for climate action this November.”

The Climate Reality Action Fund is affiliated with The Climate Reality Project, which was founded by the former vice president in 2006 to develop ideas to solve the climate crisis, according to the release.
