It’s Earth Day! Of course, Earth Day is a great media and organizing ‘hook’. But how do you find similar focal points throughout the rest of the year? The infrastructure plan Biden unveiled several weeks ago (and which could pass by a September budget deadline) may be a strategic opportunity to focus attention on climate, justice, and energy issues for months and years to come.

This is a poll from the Pew Research Center around 19 diferent issue areas that should be top priority in 2021. Pew Research Center conducted this study to understand which issues the public views as most important for Congress and the president to prioritize in the coming year. For this analysis, we surveyed 5,360 U.S. adults in January 2021. Everyone who took part in this survey is a member of Pew Research Center’s American Trends Panel (ATP), an online survey panel that is recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses. This way nearly all U.S. adults have a chance of selection. The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity, partisan affiliation, education and other categories.
