We advocate for public policies

that fight climate change across our region and beyond.

NATIONAL

Big Oil is doubling down on liquefied natural gas (LNG), a dangerous and dirty fossil fuel. Exporting it raises energy prices, harms frontline communities, and supercharges the climate crisis. We're fighting back.

DC

We’re pressuring the DC Public Service Commission (PSC) to REJECT WGL’s multi-billion dollar pollution plan. WGL intends to spend $4.5 billion ratepayer dollars on polluting methane gas infrastructure.

MARYLAND

Maryland is experiencing unprecedented extreme weather events with extreme costs. We fought industry lobbyists to stop new gas infrastructure and pass bills for solar siting, batteries, and a first step to make polluters pay.

VIRGINIA

Virginia needs a lot of clean energy. Fast. Fossil fuel companies are spreading misinformation but we worked with legislators in 2025 to achieve big wins including bills for clean energy storage, EV charting for rural areas, and more.
