As the local group of Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) --a nonprofit, nonpartisan, grassroots advocacy organization-- the Lake County group learns how to effectively exercise our personal and political power, and apply those skills to working with leaders and elected officials who represent us at all levels. Our chapter is just one of hundreds of chapters across the world working to create the political will for a livable world.

We are laser-focused on a specific piece of legislation and a proven strategy to gain its passage. We are working for the passage of Carbon Fee and Dividend, the climate change solution economists and climate scientists alike say is the “best first-step” to preventing the worst impacts of a warming world.

Our market-based Carbon Fee and Dividend policy will drastically reduce emissions, create jobs, and support small businesses and families — all without growing government.

We’ve seen firsthand how passionate citizens who are well-trained, organized by district and with a good system of support can more than influence the political process.
