Citizens Climate Lobby
https://citizensclimatelobby.org/about-ccl/Citizens
Climate Lobby is a non-partisan, non-profit group that is building a grassroots movement to encourage Congress to pass legislation levying a carbon fee on fossil fuels and returning the money raised as a dividend to every household in the country. This will gradually make fossil fuels more expensive, leveling the marketplace and making renewable energy competitive, leading to huge CO2 emissions cuts. If you are looking to get involved with a group of people committed to climate action at the national level, you may sign up for online information meetings that take place every Wednesday at 8:00 pm Eastern time to learn more. There are plenty of opportunities to contribute with your skills and passion.

The Climate Mobilization
https://www.theclimatemobilization.org
The Climate Mobilization argues that our carbon budget is most likely used-up and a massive World War II-style mobilization is the only rational response to combat the climate emergency the planet now faces. The organization works at all levels of government to create support for this mobilization. For example, The Climate Mobilization is successfully working to get local governments to declare climate emergencies, beginning with the Hoboken, New Jersey, City Councils’ passage of a climate emergency resolution in November 2017. According to The Climate Mobilization website, Hoboken was the third city in the world to declare a climate emergency and the first one to do so in the United States.
