Columbia County
We work to build the political will to solve climate change problems. Our main focus is the bipartisan, national, carbon pricing legislation, the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act, which we are convinced is an effective and long-lasting way to fight climate change. We talk with neighbors, friends, community leaders, and elected officials about how national and state climate action can ensure a healthy future and strengthen the American economy. We build all our relationships from a place of respect and appreciation. We are steadfastly nonpartisan.
