Longtime Utah climate advocate Bill Barron is cycling 700+ miles through Utah’s Mighty Five National Parks to bring people together around a shared goal: protecting the places we love while building the political will for effective climate solutions. Along the route, he’ll host conversations on Citizens’ Climate Lobby’s policy commitments to reduce emissions, remove climate pollution, and protect people—highlighting carbon pricing as a proven, scalable solution and comprehensive permitting reform as a timely opportunity to accelerate progress. Grounded in the power of relationships and citizen engagement, this tour connects everyday voices to real pathways for bipartisan action in Congress.
This ride is also a fundraiser to support the work of Citizens’ Climate Lobby. Donate
