The mission of the CCAN Action Fund is to effect change in public policy at local, state and national levels to directly address the threat of global warming. Through voter education, lobbying and participation in the electoral process, we seek to move our country into a leadership position on the most urgent global issue of our time — the climate crisis.

We work to advance clean energy and oppose dirty energy projects across the region. We focus primarily on Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC and our federal team uses our grassroots power to pressure federal leaders from the region to advance climate action.

Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN), and our sister organization Chesapeake Climate Action Network Action Fund, is building a diverse and powerful movement to put our region on the path to climate stability. CCAN is the largest and oldest grassroots organization dedicated exclusively to fighting for bold and just solutions to climate change in the Chesapeake region of Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC. We also have a federal team. We envision an economy where energy efficiency and clean sources of power sustain every aspect of our lives and dirty fossil fuels are phased out.
