We're Building a Movement To Fight Climate Change
Across Our Region and Beyond.

Should we reflect sunlight away from the Earth? With global temperatures spiking ever higher, CCAN supports careful research into geoengineering, following the lead of the world’s top scientists. 

The D.C. Council can stop ballooning utility costs for residents by passing common sense ratepayer protections, stopping Project Pipes for good, and piloting networked geothermal to kickstart our transition of dangerous methane gas.

Governor Wes Moore’s administration is trying to help a cryptomining company build a methane gas pipeline, private power plant, and dirty data center complex right along the Potomac River.

CCAN Action Fund released a new statewide poll, conducted by Global Strategy Group, that shows a whopping 92% of likely voters believe state lawmakers are failing to properly manage the rapid growth of data centers in the Commonwealth. They want action!

CCAN is the first grassroots, nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting climate change in Maryland

Loudoun & Fairfax Pride festivals were a celebration of Love, Unity and Action! With over 170 emails sent to Governor Spanberger & VA legislators, Virginians are making it clear that we demand clean energy regulations for data centers! If you missed the festivals but still want to make your voice heard, tell VA lawmakers to pause data center developments now: ccan.link/pause #cleanenergy #datacenters #ai #climateaction #bigtechaccountability #energyaffordability #vagov #valeg #vageneralassembly #vabudget #vapolicy ...
