On #BAAJA, Kandia Milton from @thedreamcorps says:
“We see an opportunity to do something great. Many say ‘Let’s wait for the next session,’ but we’ve been waiting for too long while communities are suffering and the price of energy is going through the roof. The time is now.”
CCLers are here in D.C. alongside @thedreamcorps to hear expert insights into #BAAJA and prepare for 60 in-person lobby meetings on Capitol Hill tomorrow in support of this important legislation 🇺🇸 #CCLinDC

So far, volunteers have mobilized more than 25,000 notes to environmental voters #getoutthevote 🗳️
📣 We've been asking, and Congress has answered! A bipartisan group of Senators just announced a MAJOR permitting reform package.
Federal permitting reform is vital to get clean energy built and connected to the grid faster.

This is your sign to catch up on all 9 training sections and join us Thursday, Sept. 4 at 8 pm ET for our final training on The Art of Climate Storytelling. RSVP: cclusa.org/bridge9
It's not fair that those who have done the least to cause climate change are facing climate impacts like these. That's why we're pushing Congress to act.
The U.S. is responsible for nearly 5 billion metric tons of global emissions every year. Things need to change — fast.
Scientists say a landslide and glacial collapse caused the devastating flood in a rapidly warming part of Nepal. Climate change is increasing the likelihood of these disasters.

Last month, 750 CCL volunteers made permitting reform a central topic of more than 400 meetings with Congress. Now, we're continuing to see encouraging news that permitting reform will be a central topic when the Senate reconvenes after the Aug. recess.

Thune calls energy development permitting reform a rare opportunity for bipartisan action kotatv.com/2026/08/20/thune-…
We're grateful to Congress for their continued attention and efforts on this topic. The faster we reform the permitting process, the faster we can get new #cleanenergy sources online!
To fully explore carbon pricing advocacy, including our options moving forward, CCL has partnered with @rff to launch a brand new, six-part virtual learning series. The 1st session, “Current Economic Consensus on Carbon Pricing” takes place Sept. 3.
👉 cclusa.org/carbon-pricing-se…
This kickoff will provide a foundation. You’ll hear how leading researchers approach carbon pricing, what decades of data tell us about its effectiveness, and the key design choices policymakers face.
This event is open to the public. Learn more at cclusa.org/carbon-pricing-se… 🔗

Over 90% of new power capacity built in the U.S. in the first half of 2026 was clean! The latest @EIAgov data, analyzed by @insideclimate, shows solar, wind, and battery storage are doing the heavy lifting to help America meet its energy demands.
We looked at the 368 new U.S. power plants that went online in the first half of this year, and this list tells a story of a boom in utility-scale solar, plus lots of batteries.

#LobbyDay is our biggest advocacy event of the year, where hundreds of CCL volunteers come to Capitol Hill to talk about climate and clean energy with Congress.
And after all our hard work? A dance party, of course. Thanks to everyone who worked to make this year a success!
