We advocate for public policies

that fight climate change across our region and beyond.

NATIONAL

We’re Taking Action to Elect Climate Champions- With the climate crisis accelerating at alarming rates, we’re in a race against time to meet the critical international goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030.

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 heat records, thousand year storms, and ever rising tides. All of these extreme weather events have price tags, and polluters should pay. We need to pass the RENEW Act.

VIRGINIA

Virginia needs a lot of clean energy. Fast. But fossil fuel companies are spreading misinformation to stop it from becoming affordable.
