ABOUT CITIZENS CLIMATE LOBBY<\/b><\/p>\n

Citizens\u2019 Climate Lobby (CCL)\u2019s mission is to create the political will for a sustainable climate and to empower individuals to have breakthroughs in exercising their personal and political power.\u00a0 CCL is a national nonpartisan, nonprofit organization with educational programs and lobbying activities (designations of 501c3 and 501c4). To solve the climate crisis our methods include education on the science, economics, politics, and public awareness surrounding climate change. CCL works by training citizens in the skills needed to affect change. We meet with Congressional leaders, write letters to the editors of national and local newspapers and attend monthly national conference calls. Most importantly we are action-oriented. Our goal is to match what scientists tell us with practical solutions that can be enacted legislatively. To learn more, visit <\/span>citizensclimatelobby.org<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
