Description:
Welcome to the State Policy Action Team!
CCL’s primary goal is the adoption of strong, effective climate policy by the US Congress. State-level policies can help us achieve this national goal. Local policies serve to not only enable local action but can create momentum at the national level.To ensure our State work doesn't interfere with National Policy, please fill out this State-Level Legislative Advocacy Form before engaging in State Level Policy work.
If your CCL chapter has already been up to State-level work, let us know here.
CCL’s State-Level Criteria
How does CCL determine whether to support a particular state-level policy? There is general guidance on our Local, State and National Level Policy Engagement Page. Historically, CCL supports climate policies or resolution efforts that meet five criteria:
- Aligns with our Strategic goals
- Reduces greenhouse gas emissions more than existing policies
- Protects the poor and working class
- Meshes well with a national pollution fee
- Is politically feasible
