Meet Our Conservative Supporters

Citizens’ Climate Lobby is a grassroots, nonpartisan organization. Our supporters are organized into local chapters, which reflect the character and politics of where they are located. Chapters work with their members of Congress to enact climate change solutions. Conservative CCL supporters hail from all over the country, but share conservative principles.  Meet Jacob.
