Citizens' Climate Lobby @cclusa.org Colorado Members had a good discussion with Senator Bennett's @bennet.senate.gov staff on permitting reform. Together we hope to make desperately needed and sensible changes to our aging electrical grid

Thank you @susielee.house.gov and staff for meeting with @cclusa.org volunteers yesterday to discuss legislation to protect forest health and speed clean energy permitting!

Today I joined other volunteers from @cclusa.org for a lobby meeting with the office of @sarajacobs.house.gov. We had a chance to push for action on energy permitting reform. We also spoke in favor of passing the Fix Our Forests Act when when it comes back to the House.

Grateful to meet with staff from @replsimon.bsky.social office during @cclusa.org Lobby Week. Strong leadership on clean energy and wildfire resilience is essential for #CA12. #ClimateAction

Thanks Sarah in the office of Rep. Jenn McClellan for meeting with your @cclusa.org constituents!

This week, I will be lobbying Congress along with 100's of other members of @cclusa.org to get more clean energy and transmission lines on the grid so we can accelerate away from fossil fuels. Give your Reps and Senators a call here to give us a boost. citizensclimatelobby.org/get-loud-tak...

Thanks to Shane Londagin, Ashton Knepell, and Megan Day from Senator John Hickenlooper's @hickenlooper.bsky.social office for meeting with @cclusa.org this morning. We appreciated hearing your insights on energy permitting reform and forest policy.

Thanks to Peter Trapp from @crow.house.gov 's office for meeting with volunteers from @cclusa.org this morning. Thanks for sharing your insights on energy infrastructure permitting reform and forest policy.

We're disappointed that the Trump administration took such a strong oppositional stance to the IMO's exploration of a carbon price on global shipping. Pricing carbon pollution is smart, effective policy, and we remain committed to building more support for it in the U.S.

CCL volunteer Polly Merhar shares personal reflections on the impacts of growing wildfires in a new op-ed for the Bemidji Pioneer. She calls on Minnesota's Senators @klobuchar.senate.gov and @smith.senate.gov to support the #FixOurForests Act.

The U.S. Forest Service has treated about 4 million fewer acres than this time last year. We're way behind on thinning, prescribed fire, and related actions. www.eenews.net/articles/shr...

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...
