Of the people. By the people. For the planet.
When we say that CCL is volunteer driven, we mean it.
Our volunteers do the most important work of Citizens’ Climate – raising awareness and building support for climate solutions with their members of Congress. They work in local chapters to build relationships with elected officials, local businesses, community leaders, and media.
Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) and Citizens’ Climate Education (CCE) support our volunteers across the broad spectrum of their work. CCE is a registered 501(c)(3) organization that provides training, tools, and other resources to help our volunteers become effective climate advocates. CCL is a registered 501(c)(4) organization that supports volunteer-led and other lobbying efforts in Congress on select climate legislation.
