It's an exciting day at CCL — our new Executive Director, Rachel Kerestes, officially joins the team!
@rkerestes was hired by the Citizens' Climate boards this spring, and today she takes the baton from @MarkReynoldsCCL.
Let's go make some #GrassrootsClimate magic ✨
It's Lobby Day! Our #GrassrootsClimate volunteers are here on Capitol Hill to hold more than 430 meetings with Congress about climate action.
Let's go! 👏👏👏 #CCL2024
Here we go! @MarkReynoldsCCL and Elli Sparks are kicking off the #CCL2024 conference this morning.
All our training & sessions over the next two days are leading up to our Capitol Hill lobby day on Tuesday.
We have 432 lobby meetings confirmed, and that number is only going up!
Great to visit with ND members of @citizensclimate about the PROVE IT Act which I introduced with @ChrisCoons. We also discussed grazing management, cleaning up orphaned wells, and permitting reform.
It’s my privilege to serve @citizensclimate as acting Executive Director. There’s so much opportunity for climate action this Congress, and our volunteers are ready to make it happen.
I’m excited to be moving into the role of @citizensclimate President to focus on organizational partnerships and development.
You can watch my announcement from #CCL2023 here, starting about 10 minutes in: https://t.co/dDvzCIbQTm
There's nothing like being shoulder to shoulder on Capitol Hill with hundreds of other #GrassrootsClimate advocates!
Together, we will ensure a livable world for ourselves and future generations.

Had an opportunity to meet with the RI chapter of @citizensclimate today! Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our generation and it’s crucial that we transition to a clean energy economy to ensure we leave behind a livable planet for future generations. 🌎
1,000+ citizens from across the country advocating in the halls of Congress for permitting reform, bipartisan wildfire policy, and more! @citizensclimate is doing amazing things, and I can't wait to see @repscottpeters fire up the crowd tomorrow night! 🌎💯
It's so inspiring to see so many activists I admire at the @citizensclimate 2023 CCL Lobby Conference.
Every day the climate movement must build more POLITICAL POWER, and these amazing volunteers are an integral part of that.
I'm with you all in spirit today! Onward! #CCL2023
Good to see bipartisan climate legislation reintroduced in the Senate this week!
"The RISEE Act would establish a much-needed source of funding from offshore #wind development to protect our shorelines," said CCL's Ben Pendergrass.

I was hoping to give a Christmas surprise that reduced economic injustice, spurred the economy and opened a safe pathway on climate, but it looks like that will have to wait a bit.

I have loved serving in this role — CCL and its supporters have made these years some of the most special in my life. I am excited to see what develops in @ParaMadeleine's capable hands, and I am looking forward to standing shoulder to shoulder with you as a CCL volunteer.
With a #PriceOnPollution within reach, @citizensclimate is exploring what's next for our organization's future.
As part of that future, @ParaMadeleine will become CCL's director on Jan. 20, 2022, and I will join CCL’s governing board. Here's my letter: https://t.co/fP9Ry0ltKq
I'm looking forward to @citizensclimate's upcoming conference! Will you join us on Zoom the weekend of Nov. 13-14?
Register here, and I'll see you then: https://t.co/JD1qAhJOEY
I am honored to have been part of the young voters panel on @FaulknerFocus! Thank you @HARRISFAULKNER for the opportunity to be part of this important discussion on key factors informing our votes! https://t.co/LKPxtJ5zJz
US leadership is critical as the world comes together to address the threat of climate change.
We need an all-of-the-above approach to tackle it — that includes an economy-wide price on carbon to cut emissions, boost clean energy innovation & create jobs.https://t.co/bfomUElM2B
