We advocate for public policies

that fight climate change across our region and beyond.

NATIONAL

Donald Trump has been elected back to the US presidency. But we have a plan. We're going to work harder than ever to fight fossil fuels and support clean energy policies across the nation. It's time to mobilize.

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 price tags. Yet utilities want to build more gas plants. We need to stop them and pass the RENEW Act to make polluters pay.

VIRGINIA

Virginia needs a lot of clean energy. Fast. But fossil fuel companies are spreading misinformation. Learn about how we are working with legislators and allies to advance climate priorities in the Commonwealth.

We're Passing Climate Policies in Virginia

With a new climate majority in the General Assembly, climate action is on the docket.
