Braun and Coons launch bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus in Senate

Sen. Mike Braun, a Republican from Indiana, and Sen. Chris Coons, a
Democrat from Delaware, today officially launched the bipartisan Climate
Solutions Caucus in the Senate.

The senators published a joint op-ed

today in The Hill, describing the caucus as "a bipartisan group of
senators who believe Congress should play a central role in addressing
the challenge of a changing climate. Our caucus seeks to take the
politics out of this important issue."

Both Senate offices will be inviting colleagues to join the group in
Republican and Democratic pairs, maintaining bipartisan parity. This
structure complements the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus in the
House, formed in 2016.

"This caucus will serve as an incubator where productive dialogue can
lead to strong bipartisan climate legislation," said Citizens' Climate
Lobby Executive Director Mark Reynolds. "For any climate solution to be
enacted and upheld, it has to have buy-in from both sides of the aisle.
Braun and Coons have initiated a process to make that happen."

Grasstops: Miami endorses H.R. 763

After several years of grassroots and grasstops outreach, the City of
Miami passed a resolution urging Congress to enact the Energy Innovation
and Carbon Dividend Act. Through the efforts of an ally who sits on the
city's Sea Level Rise Committee, the resolution came up for a vote.
CCLers called commissioners to support the resolution, and it was passed
unanimously. For the whole story, check out this post
