"Families shouldn’t have to worry about being stuck with soaring utility bills," writes Ellen. C, a CCL volunteer in Florida. "Congress has the opportunity to bring down prices by making it easier and faster to build and connect clean energy." theinvadingsea.com/2026/04/14/per…

Another successful #EarthMonth in the books! ✨🌎

Fun time at the Plymouth Herring Festival Sat April 25 - We partnered with the Plymouth League of Women Voters on a table with civics information, a climate quiz, and a climate change opinion poll. PLUS scavenger hunt for kids! @USRepKeating @CCL_Mass @citizensclimate

Volunteers with @citizensclimate organize to write postcards with the @Enviro_Voter project. The volunteers are encouraging low propensity environmental voters to vote. @RepRichardNeal @USRepKeating @JakeAuch @RepPressley @RepMcGovern

I just love it when climate lobbyists get together! From students to retirees, everyone has something to learn and something to share. NE Regional Conference, Union College, NY - Join us! @USRepKeating @CCL_Mass @citizensclimate

Some good news from Dr. Marija Verner from @YaleClimateComm: You are likely talking to someone who already agrees with you on climate change. Take a look at the latest numbers from YPCCC and what they mean for climate advocacy 👇 citizensclimatelobby.org/blog/advocacy/…

Happy #EarthDay from your fellow Planet Earth crew members. Let's continue on this journey to a healthy planet together 🌎💚

The vast majority of energy projects waiting to be built in America are clean energy. We're pushing hard for permitting reforms that make it easier & faster to build those clean energy projects, ultimately helping reduce emissions & protect our climate. citizensclimatelobby.org/get-loud-take-…

In the @washingtonpost, Wyoming's @SenLummis writes: "Fixing permitting isn’t a choice between the environment and the economy. America can protect both. The opportunity to get something done is this year. Congress should not squander it." washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

Ellen Cruse of @citizensclimate writes that permitting reform is needed to speed up energy projects and lower bills: "Renewable energy is now the cheapest form of energy available to us, but right now, it can take nearly a decade to permit and build." theinvadingsea.com/2026/04/14/per…

@FLPublicAffairs @theinvadingsea Permitting reform is a bipartisan policy. Negotiations are underway between all members of Congress, and many bills under the permitting umbrella have already made progress. We're looking forward to seeing what comes out of Congress on this critical topic!

@theinvadingsea @citizensclimate No chance of that in America under the current administration.

We're ten days out from this event! Looking forward to this conversation with CCL Executive Director Ricky Bradley, @billmckibben and @NPR Climate Desk reporter Rebecca Hersher. See you at the @BKLYNlibrary April 30! #EarthMonth
