In addition to lobby meetings and calls, CCLers generated local media and educated their communities about the bill.
We're thrilled this policy idea has now made it across the finish line! As CCL continues to advocate for trade policies that reduce emissions, this policy win is an important one.

CCL volunteers continued to reach out to Congress in support of the PROVE IT Act throughout the first half of 2024, eventually raising it as a primary ask in 442 lobby meetings on Capitol Hill in the summer.

In January 2024, CCLers generated a targeted slate of calls to Senate EPW Committee members, helping support the bill to committee passage with a vote of 14-5 — even more bipartisan support than was expected at the time.

A bipartisan group of Senators introduced the PROVE IT Act in the Senate on June 7, 2023, just days before our 2023 Summer Conference and Lobby Day. We added the bill to our list of asks, bringing it up in many of our 436 meetings on Capitol Hill.

America's aging power grid infrastructure is tested every time we experience intense weather events. Relying on fossil fuels just isn't a long-term strategy. 👎
Breaking news: Dangerous icing across the southeastern U.S. has left about 1 million customers without power as of early Sunday afternoon, with emergency agencies warning outages could worsen as heavy ice strains power lines in the coming days.
Live updates: 1 million customers without power as risk of dangerous ice moves into swaths of East

Comprehensive permitting reform will help improve grid reliability and resilience by building more clean energy, expanding transmission to connect geographically diverse areas, and more.
We lobby Congress to work together on these solutions, and you can too!

Carbon border adjustment mechanisms (CBAMs) are powerful climate policies.
Analysis from @rff.org projects that in this CBAM design, emissions would "decrease globally by 81 million metric tons in the first year" with even greater reductions over time.
