Young, conservative, and Catholic individuals are increasingly advocating for climate action, driven by their faith and stewardship of the earth. Topher Anderson, a Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL) volunteer, exemplifies this, citing his Catholic faith and Pope Francis's teachings as his motivation.

In March 2021, Topher met with Republican members of Congress, urging them to adopt climate solutions consistent with conservative values like small government and American ingenuity. He believes these principles are key to effective, nationwide solutions.

CCL supports people of faith in their climate advocacy, offering training and organization to empower ordinary citizens. Learn more about this growing movement at http://cclusa.org.

She serves as Southwest Regional Director for March For Our Lives and Captain of her Speech and Debate team, planning a career in nonprofit law.
