National CCL @cclusa.org monthly call is Saturday, October 11 at 12 noon CT

This Sept. 26 & 27, join us for @cclusa.org's 4th #Inclusion Conf! 🌺 Theme: "Rooted in Care, Growing in Community." 🗣️ Speakers: #JacobShoresArguello, #VanessaNakate, #JulianCauzae, #UkemeAwakessienJefer, @clarafang.bsky.social & @pamelabensonowens.bsky.social Register: cclusa.org/inclusion

As a volunteer with CCL, I can say that this has been my personal experience and has become more and more so since I began visiting congressional offices on both sides of the aisle nine years ago.

In a speech to the UN yesterday, President Trump falsely claimed that climate change is a "con job," that renewables are "too expensive," and that coal is "clean." @apnews.com takes a closer look at the president's statements and the scientific reality.

The bipartisan Fix Our Forests act is moving through Congress! If you have a senator on the Agriculture Committee, now is a strategic time to write them a note in support of this legislation. Take action for the climate 👉 citizensclimatelobby.org/get-loud-tak...

Thanks @cclusa.org, @rewiringamerica.bsky.social & all the campaign organizations making it easy to find resources and information to help electrify! ⚡️ With help from this guide our family will be installing a cold climate heat pump this fall to benefit from the tax incentives before they’re gone!

CCL @cclusa.org has many teams and groups dedicated to different communities. Here are some of the activities taking place. Visit CCL's Action Team Directory to join the teams and learn the needed Zoom information to connect with our volunteers. Info: community.citizensclimate.org/groups/actio...

Who doesn't love forests ... important that we support this bipartisan bill. Call your Senator! cclusa.org/take-action

On behalf of CCL and our Michigan volunteers, thank you Senator Stabenow for more than a decade of work on bipartisan climate solutions 🎉 We take our relationships with Congress seriously. Read more ⬇️

The #FixOurForests Act uses smart, science-based solutions to restore forest health and reduce wildfire risk, while preserving important environmental standards. That's why we've joined 21 other organizations urging the Senate to pass the bill: citizensclimatelobby.org/blog/news/cc...

Join us this Saturday at 10 PT/1 ET for CCL's September Monthly Meeting, featuring climate scientist Dr. Daniel Swain! During September's meeting, Dr. Swain will help us understand how climate change is impacting wildfires🔥 👉 Visit cclusa.org/monthly-call/ for more information.

It’s use-it-or-lose-it time for federal energy efficiency tax credits. This @rewiringamerica.bsky.social‬ campaign aims to make sure everyone takes advantage before it's too late. www.canarymedia.com/articles/ele...

We're (heat) pumped to support this campaign from our friends at Rewiring America! 🔋☀️🔌

Clean energy helps keep electricity costs in check. "In some of the states with the highest level of renewables, prices have either risen more modestly than average or even fallen," @heatmap.news reports. heatmap.news/energy/renew...

For #ORClimateAction, I enjoyed attending the Portland Citizens Climate Lobby film screening and panel discussion this evening. Great to see friends OR Rep. Mark Gamba and Bernard Seeger as part the discussion panel. @cclusa.org #ActOnClimate #climate #cleanenergy

Had a great discussion in Windham with Dan Weeks, @cclusa.org , @lcv.org & local leaders about the barriers they face in lowering energy costs. The biggest one is the GOP’s Big, Brutal Budget, which will jack up costs and kill energy jobs. I will never stop working to make clean energy affordable.

Many of the Inflation Reduction Act's climate measures are expiring soon. But while they were in place, they put us on track to save about 1 billion tons of carbon dioxide pollution over the next decade! "Every ton of avoided carbon pollution makes a difference," says @dananuccitelli.bsky.social.

We're less than 400 emails away from reaching our goal of 10,000 messages to Congress! Will you help us cross the finish line today? 🏆 Tell your members of Congress to reject proposed cuts to key climate and clean energy programs in the FY26 budget ⬇ citizensclimatelobby.org/get-loud-tak...

Three members of our @cclusa.org‬ Atlanta chapter spent Thursday evening at a town hall meeting with @repnikema.bsky.social‬. Didn't get a chance to ask our question about permitting reform, but we'll be back for the next one. #ClimateChange

I like this org because they are focused on acting *strategically and effectively*.

"NOAA is now giving this year a less-than-1% chance of winding up as the warmest year on record, but a greater-than-99% chance of being among the top-five warmest years." - @climateconnections.bsky.social yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/08/july...

"The EPA has both the authority and the responsibility to act," says @dananuccitelli.bsky.social. "Americans cannot afford a retreat from science, law, and common sense in the face of a rapidly accelerating climate crisis.” More about CCL's comment to EPA: citizensclimatelobby.org/blog/democra...

"Our version of the moonshot is the transition to clean energy," writes CCL volunteer Joel McKinnon in his local newspaper. "We are not moving fast enough, and one of the biggest obstacles in our way is outdated permitting," he explains. Read Joel's full piece: smdailyjournal.com/opinion/gues...

From the Chicago area @cclusa.org

Key Senate Republicans are unhappy with the "expected clampdown on wind and solar projects’ use of tax credits." Now Sens. Grassley and Curtis have placed holds on three Treasury nominees — "a significant escalation of the battle over renewable energy tax breaks." www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

Congestion charge: Charging drivers a small fee significantly decreased traffic in cities. Plastic bag charge: Charging a tiny fee significantly reduced plastic bag use. Carbon price: ???

I read EPA’s 302-page proposal to nuke the endangered endangerment finding so that you don’t have to, and wrote about what the insanity all means for @climateconnections.bsky.social. Thanks to @gregdotson.bsky.social, @hausfath.bsky.social, @michaelemann.bsky.social for the input. Article & 🧵(1/14):

Is carbon pricing dead? Not quite. 🌎 ⚖️ Carbon pricing advocates are meeting the political moment to deliver emissions reductions. On Resources Radio, Danny Richter explains how carbon pricing policy has achieved lasting environmental and economic success. 🎧: www.resources.org/resources-ra...

It’s hard to find a trend in the electricity system right now that *doesn’t* point to near-term rate hikes if not a broad affordability crisis. That’s a serious problem for climate policy, but also the American economy writ large. I wrote about it: heatmap.news/politics/ele...

Met with 2 of Colorado’s 3 new Republican House offices last week. Talking to both Ds & Rs about climate matter more than ever. Grateful to all CO members of Congress who met with us—and to the many @cclusa.org staff & volunteers who made Lobby Day a success!

Photos with our @cclusa.org meeting teams on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, July 22, 2025. #CCL2025 #GrassrootsClimate

Check out the work of Amanda Ripley, who spoke at #CCL2025. We need more of her understanding of conflict and how to skillfully negotiate it.

For #ClimateAction, I enjoyed lobbying the staff U.S. Senator @jeff-merkley.bsky.social Washington D.C. Office as part of the @cclusa.org Lobby day on Capitol Hill last Tuesday, July 22nd. #Grassrootsclimate #CCL2025 #ORClimateAction #ActOnClimate #climate

I had the pleasure to meet with @citizensclimateiv.bsky.social to discuss the importance of wildlife resilience and the continued fight to protect our planet. (1/2)

At a time when our democracy is at risk, I volunteer for an organization whose slogan is "Our solution to climate change? Democracy." So when the going gets tough, the tough go to Capitol Hill and remind Congress that it's their job to fight the climate crisis. @cclusa.org #GrassrootsClimate

I was proud and happy to lobby Congress with @cclusa.org ​ last week, reminding our reps that climate people care about constituents care about climate change, despite the hostile political "climate." And: there is potential bipartisan common ground on some climate policy.

Thank you Texas Senator Ted Cruz for taking time to meet with Citizens’ Climate Lobby this summer! @cclusa.org

For #ClimateAction, I really enjoyed our @cclusa.org meeting with my @repdexteror.bsky.social , M.D. last Tuesday in Washington D.C. to talk about ways we can find common ground to #ActOnClimate. #GrassrootsClimate #CCL2025

➡️ 402 meetings on Capitol Hill ➡️ 2,044 phone calls to Congress from constituents back home ➡️ 1 incredible Lobby Day! Thank you to everyone who made this year's Lobby Day a success 🇺🇸

Members of the Citizens' Climate Lobby met with staff in Rep. Raskin's office yesterday to discuss clean energy legislation. We were honored to sit at the table the congressman inherited from John Lewis. Thank you for meeting with us! #CCL2025 @cclusa.org @raskin.house.gov

Thank you @titus.house.gov for you support for a healthy climate and for meeting with @cclusa.org yesterday!

Thank you @rosen.senate.gov and @cortezmasto.senate.gov for meeting with @cclusa.org yesterday and for supporting clean energy!

Thank you @susielee.house.gov for your strong support for clean energy and a healthy climate and for taking time to meet with @cclusa.org volunteers yesterday!

During National Parks and Recreation Month, it was great to meet with representatives from @cclusa.org to discuss how we can work together to keep our environment healthy. Oregon is home to so many beautiful outdoor spaces – I’ll always fight to keep them that way for generations to come.

From fires and extreme heat to heavy rains and flooding, Delaware is among the states most threatened by the climate crisis. I met with @cclusa.org to read letters from concerned Delawareans and discuss how - together - we’ll help our communities weather what’s coming.

I had a chance to get a tour of @elfreth.house.gov's office from my nephew Sam and meet his coworkers, too. #CCL2025 @cclusa.org

Had a great meeting today with Senator Van Hollen’s office today during CCL Summer Lobby Day @cclusa.org #citizensclimate

For #ClimateAction, I enjoyed lobbying yesterday 4 Oregon Congressional Offices to #ActOnClimate as part of the @cclusa.org Lobby Day on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. #Grassrootsclimate #CCL2025 #ORClimateAction
