"The U.S. Chamber Doesn't Speak for Me" campaign

This campaign aims to pull back the curtain on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. They have attacked climate science and advocates while falsely claiming to represent the interests of all United States businesses. Learn more about the campaign at http://chamber.350.org/.
Signing up local businesses to stand up against the U.S. Chamber's climate position will show leaders in Washington, DC that climate action is, in fact, good for business. Use this guide to canvassing community businesses to help make your action successful.
Do you own or represent a business? Register it here to declare that the U.S. Chamber doesn't speak for you on climate.
