About this event

3 days 14 hours

This June, lobby for the good of the planet on Capitol Hill. You’ll join with 1,000+ people from across the country to tell Congress that later is too late to stop the pollution that’s overheating the planet. But first, you’ll make connections, hear new ideas and get information that you can use on Capitol Hill and take back home with you to grow support for action in your community. Conference speakers and sessions will cover a broad range of topics, like:

🏛Near-term opportunities for climate policy in Congress

🤝Bridging partisan divides that keep us from acknowledging the scope of the problem

🗳️Making climate change a top priority in every 2024 election

Join us early on Saturday, June 8th!

The conference officially kicks off on Sunday, June 9th, but you can join us early on Saturday, June 8th for some new conference offerings. We have three choices:

1. Our first Student Summit (tentatively: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.) Are you a middle/high school or college age student? Join us for a special day of learning, connecting, and strategizing with other young climate leaders. You'll hear from students about their efforts to address climate change through a special CCL Five Levers workshop designed with you(th) in mind, design strategies for your group to move through times of “stuckness,” and build lasting friendships with a powerful network of changemakers. There will also be an opportunity to get out in DC and do some grassroots climate outreach!

2. Writing Postcards to Voters (2 - 4 p.m.): Join CCL’s largest postcard writing party! We’ll be writing postcards to voters to encourage them to get out and vote on election day.

3. Climate Conversations in D.C. (2 - 4 p.m.): With the help of the Washington, D.C. CCL Chapter, we’re setting out into the city to talk with the public about climate.

Organized by

Citizens' Climate Education/Citizens' Climate Lobby

Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) is a non-profit, nonpartisan, grassroots advocacy organization focused on national policies to address climate change.

Our consistently respectful, nonpartisan approach to climate education is designed to create a broad, sustainable foundation for climate action across all geographic regions and political inclinations. By building upon shared values rather than partisan divides, and empowering our supporters to work in keeping with the concerns of their local communities, we work towards the adoption of fair, effective, and sustainable climate change solutions.

In order to generate the political will necessary for passage of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act we train and support volunteers to build relationships with elected officials, the media and their local community.

Citizens' Climate Education (CCE), since its founding in 2007, has exponentially grown its global coalition to a remarkable 190,000+ registered supporters. Volunteers are organized into over 500 active chapters. Each chapter is run by a Group Leader and supported by State Coordinators and Regional Coordinators. Chapters work closely with their corresponding Congressional Liaison, who is a designated CCE volunteer leader that maintains the ongoing relationship between a specific member of Congress and local CCE chapters within that member’s district or state. At each level of our organizational model, CCE staff provides robust coordination, systems, training, and support to ensure volunteers are successful in their advocacy work.

Citizens’ Climate Education (CCE) and Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) are sister organizations that complement each other in strategically building political will for impactful climate solutions. CCE is a registered 501(c)(3) organization that provides key trainings, tools, and other educational resources to help volunteers become effective advocates for climate solutions. CCL is a registered 501(c)(4) organization that supports volunteer-led and other direct lobbying efforts on specific climate legislation. Each organization has its own governing board, operating budget, and audited financials. As CCL has a more public-facing presence, most public accomplishments are attributed to it. Nevertheless, most program activities are related to climate education rather than direct lobbying efforts, and come from the CCE budget.
