We Build the Political Will for Action
At Citizens’ Climate Lobby, we’re committed to building the political will for the climate solutions we all need. As empowered citizens, we talk with neighbors, friends, and local officials about how national climate action can help ensure a healthy future while strengthening the American economy.
Our Volunteers
Our volunteers come from all walks of life, united by a commitment to a healthy climate future:
- High school students and concerned grandparents
- Engineers from the Texas natural gas industry and house painters from New England
- Farmers from Virginia to California’s Central Valley
- PhDs who have researched climate change intricacies
- Concerned citizens who want to help
Whatever our backgrounds, we’re all united by a commitment to making our voices heard as we call for a healthy climate future.
Our Approach: Local Chapters, Shared Values
CCL volunteers are organized into hundreds of local chapters across the US and around the world. These chapters build political support for climate action with a variety of tools, which they use in keeping with their local culture and politics.
We focus on shared values rather than partisan divides, building relationships with community leaders and with federal elected officials and with Congress, always starting from a place of respect, gratitude, and appreciation.
This approach often reveals a surprising openness to climate action on the part of officials who have yet to publicly embrace climate solutions.
Moving Leaders Towards Action
Through developing respectful relationships, cultivating and demonstrating local support, and promoting a climate solution that has appeal across the political spectrum, we move our leaders towards action that will:
- Preserve a healthy climate
- Ensure a livable world
