Climate Changemakers

Climate Changemakers is a nationwide (and increasingly global!), nonpartisan community of climate-concerned individuals committed to regular, collective, political action on climate. Our theory of change rests on connecting climate-concerned individuals with weekly drop-in Hours of Action: opportunities to take simple, productive political actions, with no preparation required. As volunteers, we’re leveraging our unique spheres of influence, and in community we’re building transformative power to catalyze government action.

Our community of volunteers shares a vision for bigger, bolder, faster, and more just climate leadership that meets the urgency and scale of the challenge. We know that we need to take political action to achieve equitable and bold policy changes that enable humanity to rapidly shift our planet toward a sustainable, decarbonized future.

Our two-pronged approach involves electoral actions and policy advocacy. Climate action is political, but it should not be partisan. We look at elections through a climate lens and support climate candidates. We don't endorse specific candidates; Climate Changemakers is an organizing platform where we'll rally support for any candidate with a stronger commitment to climate action than their opponent.

We use policy advocacy to hold leaders accountable. We're swinging for high-leverage, “low-hanging fruit”, starting with national (+ international!) policy, and ultimately expanding to regional, state, and local climate priorities. We work closely with partner orgs to amplify their climate policy priorities using our unique advocacy action toolkit. Learn more about our values here: climatechangemakers.org/our-values.

Volunteers, voters, potential voters, friends, family, neighbors, colleagues, candidates, and policymakers: we’re meeting them all right where they are and asking them to make climate action a greater priority, to lean in more, to be a climate changemaker.
