A partnership of environmental groups is launching an advertising campaign focused on getting young people in swing states to vote for Democrat Kamala Harris for president.

The two new ads launched Friday by LCV Victory Fund, Climate Power Action and Future Forward PAC are part of a $55 million effort the groups and other climate change advocacy organizations announced last month to help Harris and other Democrats.

LCV Victory Fund is a super political action committee of the League of Conservation Voters, while Future Forward is the largest Democratic super PAC this election season.
