50 grassroots conservatives visit Capitol Hill to support clean energy tax credits

March 10, 2025 – Last week, conservatives from across America gathered in Washington D.C. for Citizens’ Climate Lobby’s fifth annual Conservative Climate Leadership Conference and Lobby Day. 

After receiving communications training from CCL staff, 50 right-of-center volunteers visited 47 Republican offices on March 5.

“I think this is one of the most impactful things that we do,” said Drew Eyerly, CCL’s Action Team Director, in CCL’s national volunteer call sharing highlights and reflections from the event.

Eyerly remarked on Republican offices’ enthusiasm for speaking with CCL volunteers, often giving them more time than originally planned. “They’ll say 10 minutes, and those meetings will turn into 20 to 30 minutes,” he reflected. “Just really, really great conversations.”

Those conversations centered on one main ask: For Republican lawmakers to protect America’s clean energy tax credits. 

“As we talk about how competitive American businesses can be in clean energy and how many jobs it can bring to their district, the members are much more open to that discussion,” said Jennifer Tyler, CCL’s Vice President of Government Affairs.

This week, Citizens’ Climate Lobby launched a new action for volunteers around the country to call Republican members of Congress about the clean energy tax credits, reinforcing our recent lobby day message.

Volunteers will be back on Capitol Hill this summer for CCL’s annual Summer Conference and Lobby Day in late July.
