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!

BREAKING: 14 Maryland counties — home to 80% of the state's population — have now hit pause on data center expansion. 🛑From Montgomery to Dorchester, local leaders are listening to residents fed up with skyrocketing energy bills, strained water supplies, and reckless land use — and they're taking action.This isn't a fringe issue. It's a statewide reckoning with Big Tech's unchecked growth, and it proves what we've known all along: people power works.The momentum is building. Join us at the People Over Data Centers Maryland Action Summit on November 7th in Baltimore to help turn this local backlash into lasting statewide policy.#peopleoverdatacenterse#marylandclimatee#DataCenterMoratoriumd#CCANte #DataCenterMoratorium #CCAN chesapeakeclimate.org/peopleoverdatacenters/
Last weekend, CCAN volunteers showed up at H St corridor in NE DC to hear from neighbors about local climate concerns-- cough cough extreme heat -- and share how we can make BIG polluters pay for solutions! 💰️ It's time to hold big oil and gas accountable! ccan.link/polluterspaypetitiondc
Take Action: act.chesapeakeclimate.org/page/79336/petition/1Who pays when climate change floods our cities? Norfolk is experiencing extreme storms more often as climate change heats our planet! Fossil fuel companies knowingly altered our planet's natural systems, putting our homes and cities at risk. Sign our petition today to protect Virginians from paying for disaster recovery when climate change comes knocking, and make the polluters pay instead! act.chesapeakeclimate.org/page/79336/petitio#MakePollutersPayr#ClimateActionc#EnvironmentalJustices#CleanEnergyn#ActOnClimatei#climatejustices#PeopleOverPollutersu#ClimatePolicyolicy
The recent New York court decision won’t stop the fight to make climate polluters pay. Families should not be forced to pay the rising costs of flooded homes, extreme heat, damaged infrastructure, and climate-fueled disasters, while the fossil fuel industry keeps the profits from pollution. CCAN will keep fighting for climate accountability in Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. #ClimateSuperfund #ClimateAccountability #PollutersPay #ClimateJustice #EnvironmentalJustice #ClimateResilience #ExtremeWeather #MakePollutersPay #FossilFuels #ClimateAction
