KICKING OFF NOW: CCL's Fall Virtual Conference! ✨ Join us from 1-5 EST/10-2 PST for an insider’s look at what Congress is expected to tackle on climate change the remainder of 2024 and beyond. There's still time to join: citizensclimatelobby.org/climate-change…

To enact change that will protect our entire planet, we have to work together to defend clean air and water, reduce our carbon footprint, and pursue sustainability. @CitizensClimate is dedicated to this task, and I met with them today to discuss our ongoing efforts.

Please join us for CCL's Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference on Saturday-Sunday, Feb 22-23rd 👏 We'll be at George Washington University to discuss & learn about "Bridging Communities to Advance Climate Solutions." Be sure to register by Feb 17th: eventbrite.com/e/ccl-mid-atla…
