Climate Changemakers is a cutting-edge, nonpartisan programme that empowers citizens to engage in meaningful, long-term civic engagement to promote fair, science-based policies in the United States at all levels of government. Everyone, from novices to seasoned activists, can engage in constructive climate activism thanks to our extensive resources and "Hour of Action" coworking sessions. Constituent advocacy is a crucial tool for creating the political will necessary to bring about systemic change because it has been shown to have a positive impact on elections and policy. In 2020, a group of volunteers formed Climate Changemakers, which became a nonprofit organisation in 2021 after being incorporated.
