Citizens’ Climate Lobby joins broad coalition supporting bipartisan Fix Our Forests Act
September 9, 2025 – Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) has joined American Forests, the Bipartisan Policy Center Action, the Federation of American Scientists, and a range of other organizations to express support for the Fix Our Forests Act.
This broad coalition of 22 organizations sent a joint letter to Senate leadership, urging the bill’s passage through the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry and then through the full Senate.
The letter details the growing risks from wildfires and the need to mitigate those threats. “Congress has the opportunity to take bipartisan action now, proactively, before the next fire inevitably costs lives, livelihoods, and ways of life,” the letter states.
Visit American Forests’ website to see the full letter and complete list of co-signing organizations.
CCL is also mobilizing our volunteer base to build more support for this legislation. This week, CCL launched a new action tool to generate grassroots messages to lawmakers on the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry.
