Climate Reality US Network

We are a nationwide network of US communities where people across the country get to work.  

We advocate for tangible solutions that reduce climate emissions and accelerate a just transition to cheap, clean energy. Every day, we’re driving local, state, and national progress via grassroots organizing, legislative advocacy, and distributed awareness campaigns. We see a better future.

Drop into an action event this week.

Hours of Action are your place to drop in anytime — same time, same place, every week — and push for real, systems-level solutions. Show up, get up to speed on one timely, high-impact issue, and take meaningful action — all within the hour. Then, get on with your week! And come back to do it again. You’ll be alongside fellow busy, productive people juggling work, school, pets, kids, and happy hours — all showing up when we can to make meaningful progress together. 

See all events

RSVP now to the virtual Hour of Action (every Monday!) or find an IRL one near you. Changemakers meet in breweries and coffee shops in cities nationwide. 

PS. No expertise needed. Seriously — come fully unprepared and you’ll be productive. (60% of people who attend their first Hour of Action are doing this for the first time too!)

Is this for you?

If you care about the climate crisis but aren’t sure where to start...

Zero experience is the perfect place to start. You’ll find a welcoming community, clear first steps, and an invitation to bring your unique perspective to everything we do. You’ll also find reassurance that the issues we focus on, and actions we take, really matter. Expect to go from concerned and overwhelmed, to determined and energized.  

▼

If you’re already engaged and want to make a difference...

As a Climate Reality Leader or chapter member, you have access to exclusive online courses, ongoing education, and a professional network cheering each other on in the US and globally. Work on important issues with structured pathways to influence policy. You’ll find places to plug in, organize, and lead on meaningful work that leads to tangible wins.

If you’re ready to turn your Leadership Corps training into action...

Welcome! Did you just get trained? We’re all feeling fired up after the US Trainings in May. Let’s keep that momentum going. Start plugging in anywhere that calls to you – an Impact Area, Hour of Action, or chapter – anywhere you go you’ll find people making a measurable impact.

One network. Real people. Real progress.

Across the US, people like you are showing up to action events, organizing their network, building community relationships with decision-makers, and advancing bold, just climate solutions. You’ve found your people. Now let’s get to work.
