Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) is a non-partisan, grass-roots
organization that works to create political will for climate solutions
by building constructive and respectful working relationships with
members of Congress. CCL advocates for Carbon Fee and Dividend (CF&D),
a revenue-neutral, market-based climate change solution, with all
revenue returned directly to households.

Come out to their monthly meetings every 2nd Saturday of the month. Their market-based Carbon Fee and Dividend policy will drastically reduce emissions, create jobs, and support small businesses and families — all without growing government.  CF&D is the climate change solution that economists and climate scientists alike say is the “best first-step” to preventing the worst impacts of a warming world.
