About us
Are you a conservative who is concerned about the stewardship of Earth?
A college student? A BIPoC activist? All of the above? None of the above?
Citizens' Climate has a place for you!
And the Huntsville chapter wants to be your home base.
For now, the Huntsville CCL Chapter is meeting every month. (This may change starting August for football season.)
First we watch the monthly speaker and national call at 12 noon CT. Then our chapter meeting will follow directly after, about 12:45pm CT. You can find the meeting link and RSVP on our chapter events calendar page, at

More about CCL / CCE:
Citizens’ Climate encompasses the following two organizations:
- Citizens’ Climate Lobby is a non-profit, non-partisan, grassroots advocacy organization focused on national policies to address climate change.
- Citizens’ Climate Education’s mission is to educate the public, media, volunteers and members of Congress on climate change solutions.
We empower people to experience breakthroughs exercising their personal and political power. Citizens' Climate provides training, tools, resources, and coordination to help volunteers become effective advocates for climate solutions. The Huntsville chapter is just one of hundreds of chapters across the world working to build the political will for a livable world.
Interested in solving climate change? You are welcome in Citizens’ Climate. We’re regular people from Alabama who are working together to get climate laws passed. We believe that the only way to tackle climate change is together. We connect over shared concerns, build consensus, and work with elected officials from every party towards climate solutions.
Together, we make a much bigger impact than we could individually by:
- Starting productive conversations about climate solutions in our community
- Getting more people talking about solutions
- Building support for climate action with community leaders
- Meeting with our members of Congress to advocate for effective climate solutions
We are laser focused on a specific legislation and a proven strategy to gain its passage. We are working for the passage of Carbon Fee and Dividend, the climate change solution economists and climate scientists alike say is the “best first-step” to preventing the worst impacts of a warming world.
Our market-based Carbon Fee and Dividend policy will drastically reduce emissions, create jobs, and support small businesses and families — all without growing government.
Our consistently respectful, nonpartisan approach to climate education is designed to create a broad, sustainable foundation to drive climate action across all geographic regions and political inclinations. By building upon shared values rather than partisan divides, and empowering our supporters to work in keeping with the concerns of their local communities, we work towards the adoption of fair, effective, and sustainable climate change solutions.
We’ve seen firsthand how passionate citizens who are well-trained, organized by district and with a good system of support can more than influence the political process.
Come and be a part of it! You can't solve climate change alone - but together, we can. You in?
