Congress is back to work — and so are we! Our first meeting of 2026 is coming up this weekend.

We'll hear a State of the Organization message from Executive Director Ricky Bradley and write to Congress about funding for critical climate research.

See you Saturday!

Thank you for helping us reach our year-end fundraising goal! Because of you, Congress won’t just hear from corporate lobbyists in 2026 — they’ll hear from citizens working together to advance effective climate solutions.

U.S. forests offset 12% of our annual climate pollution, with the potential to do even more. But with wildfires increasing, they need some help.

That's why we've worked hard to support the #FixOurForests Act this year!

Here's what we've been up to: citizensclimatelobby.org/blog/policy/...
Our Fix Our Forests advocacy in 2025
As the Fix Our Forests Act awaits a floor vote in the Senate, let’s take a look back at our 2025 advocacy efforts to advance this bill.

This week, I will be lobbying Congress along with 100's of other members of @cclusa.org to get more clean energy and transmission lines on the grid so we can accelerate away from fossil fuels. Give your Reps and Senators a call here to give us a boost.
