Connecticut Climate Crisis Mobilization

Do you have the right to clean and healthy air, water, and soil and a safe climate? Not in our state constitution -- but we can change that! Find out how at these public town halls, coming up this week!

Constitutional protections are what keeps power in check. This is why we need more of them and for them to be enforced. Please join us on our Connecticut Tour next week as we make the case for a Connecticut State Green Amendment to expand our Constitutional Rights to cover our basic needs of clean air and clean water.

C3M fights for the CT Environmental Rights Amendment, which would include our individual right to a safe climate. See how Green Amendments like the CT ERA have been used in other states to push forward on climate policy.

Our changing planet is causing insurance rates to rise and insurance companies to pull out of entire regions. Regulations are not changing fast enough to deal with rising sea levels and rising water consumption, natural disasters, and heat waves. Our lives are being impacted right before our eyes and the government is not doing anything to fix it.

Can an umbrella like the help spur government to make the right decision? Come join us for a Climate XChange conversation between Sara Zimmerman, Founder and Executive Director of the Climate Equity Policy Center, Maya K. van Rossum, Founder and Leader of Green Amendments For The Generations, and Mat dos Santos, Co-Executive Director and General Counsel at Our Children's Trust, on August 27th at 1pm ET, as we explore how a Constitutional Green Amendment can shape climate policy.

The CT Environmental Rights Amendment, a major program of C3M, is coming up for a public hearing this Wednesday! Here is everything you need to know in order to testify in writing, on Zoom, or in person.

Connecticut Green Amendment – the CTERA — is next up for a hearing!

The Connecticut Committee on Government Administration and Elections will be holding a public hearing Wednesday, March 13th to consider S.J. No. 193 which proposes to amend the Connecticut state constitution to include protections for our environmental rights. This is a massive opportunity to ensure that communities in Connecticut have the legal tools necessary to fight back against polluters, stop their communities from becoming sacrifice zones, hold government accountable, and prevent pollution from harming their livelihoods. Please make it a point to attend and testify and urge our legislators to support a Green Amendment that preserves our environmental rights for present and future generations.

Wednesday, March 13, 11:00 am ET
