Our organization is volunteer based and organized by congressional districts.\u00a0 CCL staff train and support volunteers to build relationships with elected officials and the media to empower their own local communities, generate the political will for fair, effective climate solutions in line with science and political viability.\u00a0 CCL prides itself in its unique approach to educating elected officials on climate action, particularly bipartisan action.\u00a0 We aim to build upon shared values rather than partisan divides, and empower our supporters to work in keeping with the concerns of their local communities. This is how we work towards the adoption of fair, effective, and sustainable climate change solutions.
