A New Class of Climate Champions in Virginia

CCAN Action Fund focused on the House… and won! Here’s the short story: we won.

We advocate for public policies

that fight climate change across our region and beyond.

NATIONAL

We fought day and night for a year and a half alongside many others to pass strong federal climate legislation—leading to a historic victory in August 2022 with the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)- now we need to implement it!

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

To help address these rapidly rising costs, the Responding to Emergency Needs from Extreme Weather (RENEW) Act would invest $9 billion in new revenue to prepare for and recover from escalating natural disasters:

VIRGINIA

Governor Glenn Youngkin is trying to drag Virginia backwards on climate. The Governor and his fossil-fuel allies have attempted to reverse Virginia’s recent advances clean energy. We are taking action to stop them.

Take Action

State-based and Federal climate advocacy is the path forward to keep fossil fuels in the ground and increase clean energy. CCAN Action Fund works to effect change in public policy at the local, state, and national levels through voter education, lobbying and participation in the electoral process to address the threat of climate change.
