Who we are
Climate Action Now is the publisher of the leading app -- <a href="https://can.app.link/am8yC5e7Nfb">Climate Action Now</a> -- for citizen advocacy on climate.&nbsp; CANdoers take exponentially more action than citizens using conventional forms of advocacy like web forms. In just three years, CANdoers have:
<ul>
<li>Taken over 2,620,000 actions</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Sent over 2,234,000 messages to political, regulatory, and business leaders</li>

</ul>
While other climate apps focus on individual behaviors, we are laser-focused on bringing about systemic change. We have demonstrated again and again that CANdoers help pass critical legislation and regulations -- actions necessary to create the speed and scale needed to solve the climate crisis.

<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Train, coach, and inspire our wonderful team of volunteer Action Creators.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Review and edit their actions to ensure they follow our editorial guidelines and are configured properly for the CAN app.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Research and write the first draft of our weekly newsletter to inspire readers to action, and create the key actions for CANdoers to take in the upcoming week.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Strategize with senior staff ways to increase our impact and expand our reach.</li>
