About CCAN

The Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) is working to build a people powered climate movement powerful enough to put the Chesapeake region and the entire country on the path to climate stability. They envision an economy where energy efficiency and truly clean sources of power sustain every aspect of our lives and dirty fossil fuels are phased out; where all communities share equitably in the promise of a clean and healthy environment; where millions of family-sustaining jobs form the backbone of our economy; and where the increase in the global average temperature is kept below 1.5 degrees Celsius, protecting the most vulnerable communities from the worst impacts of climate change.

CCAN's annual Polar Bear Plunge is their largest annual grassroots fundraising event. Each winter, hundreds of passionate climate activists come into contact with icy cold water to raise money for CCAN! With your support, in 2025, CCAN will continue their fight against the build-out of fossil fuel infrastructure in Virginia, will work to make Polluters Pay, and strive to Electrify Everything!

CCAN's goal is to raise $225000 and so far they've raised $131855.49.  I hope you'll make a donation in support of my Polar Bear Plunge to support CCAN and their climate campaigns.

 

Life on Earth is in crisis - join the rebellion against extinction

Our climate is changing faster than ever before, and the stakes are high. Biodiversity loss. Crop failure. Social and ecological collapse. War. Mass extinction. We are running out of time. Extinction Rebellion was formed to counter this. We have a moral duty to take action — whatever our politics. Traditional strategies like petitioning, lobbying, and voting do not work fast enough due to the rooted interests of political and economic forces. Our approach is therefore one that includes non-violent, disruptive civil disobedience – a grassroots rebellion to bring about change.

We’re mobilizing for local, sustained campaigns in Washington DC, and the fact of the matter is, fighting our entrenched, unjust system costs money. We are taking the Polar Bear Plunge on February 8 to demonstrate our commitment, support our allies in CCAN, and raise money to execute creative, non-violent actions that will push DC in a more sustainable, equitable, and healthy direction.
