Ricky Bradley is a strategist, organizer, and civic innovator working at the intersection of climate policy, grassroots advocacy, and human behavior. He serves as Executive Director of Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL) and Citizens' Climate Education (CCE), a nationwide movement of more than 20,000 active volunteers building the political will for federal climate solutions. At a time when climate has become a deeply polarizing topic, CCL is one of the few organizations working at scale to change that by building trusted, personal relationships across the political spectrum.
Before becoming Executive Director, he was a local and regional organizer and built the tools and systems that help CCL's volunteers track and amplify their civic impact. He also launched Citizens' Climate University, CCL's flagship learning platform equipping everyday people with the knowledge and skills to influence federal climate policy. 
Ricky holds an MBA with a concentration in strategy from Southern Methodist University, and brings a grounded, evidence-based, and deeply human perspective to one of the hardest questions in climate advocacy: why do people believe what they believe, and what does it actually take to pass legislation?
