Explosive Growth of Citizens’ Climate Lobby’s Woodlands Chapter

Authored by Bill Bray on February 21st, 2018

Since it first kicked off in March of 2015 with 8 members, The Woodlands Chapter of the Citizens’ Climate Education/Lobby has grown significantly. This grassroots organization, focused on helping citizens create the political will to address climate change, ended 2015 with 49 members. By the end of 2016, those numbers tripled to 150. In Chairman Brady’s Texas District 08, there are now four chapters with 628 members at the end of 2017. That is more CCE/L members than any other US Representative’s District in Texas!

Citizens’ Climate Education/Lobby are intentional grassroots education and lobbying organizations. They have one rule: Treat everyone, even those who oppose them, with respect, appreciation, and gratitude. Both organizations are nonprofit; Citizens’ Climate Education is a 501(c)3 organization and Citizens’ Climate Lobby is a 501(c)4. They are non-partisan organizations, determined to build relationships with everyone.

Citizens’ Climate Lobby has one goal, to generate the political will for the United States Congress to enact Carbon Fee and Dividend legislation. Carbon Fee and Dividend is a market-based solution that will reduce our greenhouse gas emissions efficiently.
