Your donation helps volunteers like Gigi
Gigi Santo, a Florida high school student, was determined to have a big impact on climate change. She might be too young to vote, but she’s not too young to organize. With support from her chapter, she got other students in her high school to join Citizens’ Climate. Now, she leads the Broward Chapter of Citizens’ Climate, with over 400 members — and they’ve convinced their Congresswoman to introduce new climate legislation. Name a paid lobbyist who’s done THAT. At Citizens’ Climate, we know that the best way to solve climate change is together. We provide training, education, and support. Our volunteers bring determination and some pretty amazing talent to solve the problem. Together, we get climate legislation passed. Consider a tax-deductible, year-end donation to Citizens’ Climate Education today. Donations will help us recruit and empower more lobbyists like Gigi in 2023.
