Congress is actively addressing climate change. Recent legislative progress includes the House passing the RECLAIM Act, which provides $1 billion for abandoned mine cleanup and job creation. The bipartisan Growing Climate Solutions Act has also advanced in Congress with a House bill and Senate hearing. Furthermore, the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis released a report discussing carbon pricing.

Volunteers can support these efforts by participating in our [Monthly Calling Campaign](https://cclusa.org/mcc), writing letters to the editor, and engaging with Members of Congress on social media.
