We’re Earth’s lobbying team.
Corporations spend billions on lobbying every year for one simple reason: Lobbying works.
Citizens’ Climate is a nonpartisan, grassroots lobbying team for the climate. We make sure Congress hears from everyday people — not just corporate lobbyists.
Our volunteers and chapters have organized pledge drives to work together toward this year’s fundraising goal of $1.25 million by Dec. 31. Your tax-deductible gift will help us develop new trainings and resources that deepen citizens’ influence in Congress and strengthen our grassroots climate advocacy nationwide.
How are we making change?
We show Congress that climate action matters to people.
Ahead of the Senate Agriculture Committee vote on Fix Our Forests Act, we published a flurry of letters and op-eds in local media outlets targeting the Senators who would cast deciding votes.
We show Congress that climate action benefits their communities.
Throughout the fight to protect clean energy tax credits, we emphasized the job growth, local investments, and new clean energy projects that the tax credits had generated in certain districts or states.
We show Congress that climate action is politically safe.
With tens of thousands of constituent messages, calls and lobby meetings throughout the year, we help lawmakers understand the support that exists in their district or state for meaningful climate action.
Your support keeps citizen lobbyists in the room with lawmakers, shaping climate action where it counts. We help advance federal policies that reduce future climate pollution, remove past emissions, and help communities adapt to the climate impacts they’re already experiencing.
In 2025 alone, we helped:
Secure strong bipartisan votes for the Fix Our Forests Act in the House of Representatives (Jan. 2025) and the Senate Agriculture Committee (Oct. 2025).
Improve the climate outcomes in H.R. 1 (July 2025). The bill rolled back effective climate provisions, but our advocacy helped prevent the worst cuts.
Advance a robust bipartisan conversation on energy permitting reform. Bipartisan groups of lawmakers and governors have since expressed support and published permitting reform recommendations (Sept. - Oct. 2025).
