We’re eliminating the partisan divide on climate change
Why we’re needed
Rhetoric on social media and in Congress makes it seem like Americans are impossibly far apart on climate change. But when we look past the divisive politics, we find that Americans across the country care deeply about clean air, clean water, and the health of the land around them. We exist to give them a voice.
How we work
We put citizens in front of their elected representatives. They’re trained on effective communication and armed with information. Every single meeting we hold is conducted with a spirit of respect and the goal of building relationships. Congress actually wants to hear from our volunteer lobbyists, because we bring real concerns and ideas for solutions. the best way for people to tell the government what we want. You might think government doesn’t know or care how real people feel on important issues like climate change. You’re right. And they won’t, unless we tell them. Probably more than once.
Solutions we’re advocating for
We are committed to finding the solutions that help both the climate AND Americans. We advocate for:
- Leveraging the economy to reduce carbon pollution, while looking out for poor and middle class Americans
- Cutting through red tape so that we can build and deploy clean energy projects faster
- Protecting America’s forests, and planting more forests where it makes sense.
