Group of 7 CCLers at a tabling event. Text says "Hi! We're Citizens' Climate Lobby. Allow us to introduce ourselves."

We're still pretty new to Bluesky, and have noticed a big increase in new sign ups and followers across our social media accounts this year. So hi! 👋

If you're new here, we're Citizens' Climate Lobby, a group of nonpartisan, grassroots citizens working together to solve climate change.

Good turnout for today’s March For Science rally in Cincinnati!
These are good people.

Apparently they just use the Google Maps location data. No address. Not sure why, they’re all like that.

Oh OK, I get it now. I’ll tell the organizer. Thanks for checking!
