Help us keep climate laws on the books

Federal legislation has the biggest impact

The biggest wins or losses for the climate will be decided at the federal level, and CCL is uniquely positioned to lead this fight in Congress. We’ve built strong relationships and a reputation for supporting climate solutions based on evidence rather than politics. This gives us an edge that others simply don’t have.

It won’t be easy. Defending progress takes calls made, votes flipped, and alliances built between the unlikeliest of partners. But with your help, we can hold the line and seize new opportunities for bipartisan climate action.

Our results speak for themselves. âś…

  • 70% of the bills we’ve actively supported have passed into law
  • Including 3 bills which passed during the first Trump administration

With your help, we can protect the progress we made—and secure a livable future for generations to come.
