Citizens' Climate Lobby Illinois

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

Big thanks to the staff from @SenDuckworth's office for being so generous with their time and attention. Always a pleasure discussing climate policy with them!

[CCL Central IL @CCL_Central_IL]

CCL National recently shared this video on the power of citizens meeting with Congress, featuring CCLers from Illinois, including our central IL chapter! https://t.co/BQgsG8D8Rq

We're back lobbying in DC next month, but registration for our June conference closes in just two weeks. Sign up now to help us move Congress to enact #PermittingReform and a #PriceOnCarbon.

We're famous!

Amy Bennet, a CCL OG, is retiring. For many volunteers, she was the guide who taught them how to lobby their members of Congress for a livable climate.

Great climate news. Too bad it has to be EU leading & US following but that’s the price of fossil fuel influence here. Either way, this is a big win for US economy because our tariffs will be relatively lower, & business & manufacturing will migrate here. https://t.co/TKdKGj6TCg

Thank you @RepCasten's staff for meeting with CCL volunteers today to discuss climate solutions! We appreciate your office's dedication to the issue! #grassrootsclimate #citizensclimate

[Dana Nuccitelli @dana1981]

oof, "only benefits the fossil fuel industry" is wildly wrong 😬

[Citizens' Climate Lobby @citizensclimate]

We're excited about our upcoming virtual conference next month. Here's a preview of what to expect and how it will prepare our volunteers to push for more climate solutions in the next Congress.

Good to see Republican members of Congress participating in a panel at #COP27. In a (likely) divided Congress, we'll work with them and other members of the Conservative @climate_caucus to move bipartisan solutions forward.

Looks like the IMF is playing our song. Worldwide $75 per ton #PriceOnCarbon by 2030 is music to our ears.

Our volunteers Sean, Ryan, Mike, and Alex were at the Northcenter Farmers Market yesterday talking to people about climate change and voting for the environment. It was a beautiful--if unseasonably warm--day!

[Citizens' Climate Lobby @citizensclimate]

Very interesting: New polling from @DiverseGreen shows that a candidate's willingness to act on #ClimateChange can be a deciding factor for voters of color in this election.

Check out the key findings here:

Wow! Didn't realize there were so many ways advocates could have an impact on generating political will for #ClimateChange solutions. Great list from @johnrplatt.

Nice story in Wisconsin about a CCL chapter's upcoming "Earth Day: Election Edition" event:

“Getting people to think about the earth when they vote is a great reason to celebrate Earth Day’s half birthday in October.”

[Citizens' Climate Lobby @citizensclimate]

It's CCL's birthday! (You had to know we're a Libra) 15 years of generating the political will for a livable world. We've accomplished a lot in that time, and there's more to come.

[Citizens' Climate Lobby @citizensclimate]

Exciting news: In a bipartisan vote, the Senate has ratified the Kigali Amendment.

If successfully implemented, this pact "would prevent up to roughly 1 degree Fahrenheit of warming by the end of this century."

Happy #nationalvoterregistrationday! Take 2 minutes now to confirm you’re registered to vote in the #midterms in November & ask 3 friends to do the same. Let’s show candidates that #climatechange is an important issue to voters this year!

#HurricaneFiona has battered Puerto Rico, leaving the island flooded and without power.

A weather anchor said the flooding was “worse than people thought [it would be],” and that people "were not prepared for this amount of rain."

Many people who experience the impact of #ClimateChange are often left out of the conversation about how to solve it. If you feel the need to be heard, join us this weekend for CCL's first diversity and inclusion virtual conference.

Putting a #PriceOnCarbon will get us the additional emissions reductions needed to reach our climate goals, writes @Jonatha53978811 Marshall in his latest post.

"A carbon price can amplify the impact of clean energy incentives..."
