Citizens' Climate Lobby

This year's Summer Conference & Lobby Day brought advocates from across the country to Washington to build relationships with Congress and push for durable, bipartisan climate solutions. 750+ volunteers. 400+ meetings on Capitol Hill. That's what people-powered climate advocacy looks like 💪

It's not fair that those who have done the least to cause climate change are facing climate impacts like these. That's why we're pushing Congress to act. The U.S. is responsible for nearly 5 billion metric tons of global emissions every year. Things need to change — fast.

Persistent, solution-oriented action. Way to go!! 👏👏

Lobby Day is our biggest advocacy event of the year, where hundreds of CCL volunteers come to Capitol Hill to talk about climate and clean energy. And after all our hard work? A dance party, of course. Thanks to everyone who worked to make this year's #LobbyDay a success! #CCLinDC

Americans paid $217 on average for electricity last month. #CleanEnergy is less susceptible to dramatic price fluctuations and helps keep utilities like electricity affordable. We need to reform the permitting process to bring more clean energy online and connected to the grid 📈 #permittingreform

In May 2026, 85% of California's energy came from clean sources, and more than half came from solar power. We love to see it! National #permittingreform will help this trend continue and ramp up clean energy power nationwide 💪

Thank you @susielee.house.gov for all your work to make sure permitting benefits Nevada’s clean energy economy and makes electricity affordable! Thanks for meeting with @cclusa.org volunteers! #CCLinDC

For #ClimateAction, I had a great time attending the @cclusa.org Conference in Washington D.C. today to get ready to lobby Congressional Offices tomorrow. #GrassRootsClimate #CCLinDC

For #ClimateAction, I had a great day lobbying for Congressional offices to #ActOnClimate as part of the @cclusa.org Lobby Day on Capitol Hill. #GrassRootsClimate #CCLinDC

It was wonderful to meet with @bennet.senate.gov and @cclusa.org about permitting reform and forestry today. Despite big conflict in American politics, there is a bipartisan path forward to improve our energy infrastructure and beloved forests. #CCLinDC

For #ClimateAction, great @cclusa.org Lobby meeting with @repvalhoyle.bsky.social Washington D.C. staff yesterday. #GrassrootsClimate #CCLinDC

Great day yesterday meeting with Congress to discuss climate policy. Over 800 @cclusa.org volunteers had over 400 meetings. Really appreciate @repdelbene.bsky.social & her staff & their interest in working on real solutions #cclinDC

Citizens' Climate Lobby volunteers from across the US are visiting Washington D.C. this week to speak with their legislators about clean energy policy. Please take a minute to call your legislators and lend them support! citizensclimatelobby.org/get-loud-tak... @cclusa.org

Permitting reform is something that everybody wants for their own personal reasons. I think our [clean] technologies are better, and if we have a level playing field, our technologies are going to be the majority of what gets built. - @jigarshahdc.bsky.social @cclusa.org #CCLinDC

For #ClimateAction and our #Democracy, I made it to Washington D.C. where I will be attending @cclusa.org conference and lobbying on Capitol Hill on Tuesday to urge members of Congress to #ActOnClimate. #CCLinDC #GrassrootsClimate #climate #DemocracyMatters #DemocracyInAction

"Convincing us that we can't overcome partisan politics is part of the playbook. When we feel hopeless and powerless, we're less likely to act. You reject that framing, and I applaud you for that." -- Ricky Bradley #CCLinDC

"The people who profit from division are counting on us to not see the best in others. Refusing polarizing isn't just being nice; it's a very smart tactic. It can solve climate change faster than the alternative, which is remaining partisan." -- Ricky Bradley #CCLinDC
