Citizens’ Climate Lobby is a non-profit, non-partisan, grassroots advocacy organization focused on national policies to address climate change. In order to generate the political will necessary for passage of our Carbon Fee and Dividend proposal we train and support volunteers to engage elected officials, the media and the public. We lobby in support of our Carbon Fee and Dividend proposal by buil
ding friendly relationships with our federally elected representatives. We do so with respect, appreciation and gratitude for their service. We write letters to the editor and op-eds, and meet with editorial boards to gain their editorial endorsement. We facilitate presentations and table at events to promote CCL and introduce others to our Carbon Fee and Dividend proposal. We support our volunteer chapters with monthly conference calls, and we support the leaders of those chapters with weekly conference calls. Politicians don’t create political will, they respond to it. We believe citizens who are well-trained, organized by Congressional district and with a good system of support can more than influence the political process. We respect all viewpoints, even from those who would oppose us. Based on what climate scientists and economists tell us, we believe that Carbon Fee and Dividend is the best first step to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to mitigate the impacts of a changing climate.
