Climate First! will hold its 13th Annual Meeting (AM) virtually on Sunday, March 1, 2026, beginning at 12:30 pm EST. We hope that you can attend the AM as we will look at the nonprofit's past year, and how the organization will move forward in the new year.

Given that the Trump administration is moving closer and closer to an authoritarian government that often ignores the U.S. Constitution, we believe that we must continue to fight that alarming trend, as well as engage in traditional campaign work to protect the climate. See "details", and/or RSVP below. 

Since President Trump will not permit any climate legislation or regulation to become law, Climate First! will try in the new year to help get a “polluters pay” bill passed at the state level. New York State and Vermont have already passed this critical legislation, which makes fossil fuel companies pay for damages resulting from climate-amplified natural disasters. And efforts are underway in other states, including Maryland, to pass similar bills.

Note: we will share more information about the AM's agenda, including its keynote speaker, in the near future.
