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.
This fall, we’re spreading the word about the impacts and costs of extreme weather events on our communities by hosting a series of events in a statewide “Make Polluters Pay” tour.
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!

Dominion wants customers to cover another $922 million in fuel costs. That could mean higher monthly bills for Virginia families! Before anyone is asked to pay more, the SCC should make Dominion explain why these costs keep piling up and whether better planning could have prevented them. ![]()
