Soft On The Outside, Policy Wonks On The Inside


Our plushies exist because the solutions that will keep this country strong and prosperous should not be made to feel scary or overwhelmingly complicated. Every plushie, and the person earning it, is actively crafting a better narrative. One rooted in common-sense solutions and optimism.

This tiny nuclear plant is here to prove nuclear energy isn’t scary, just clean power reliably keeping our lights on every day.

Issue: Unleashing Nuclear Energy

Height: 4 inches of clean energy cuteness

Made for: sparking conversations, sharing photos, and winning hearts

Fun fact: Ricky dreams of one day visiting all of the United States’ 94 operating reactors and 63 national parks

This pint-sized evergreen and their best friend, a drip torch. They’re an inseparable duo, both literally (they’re stitched together) and in maintaining healthy forests. Smart, science-backed controlled burns clear built-up fuel, restore native habitats, and make forests more resilient to wildfire damage. Fire and forest aren’t always enemies; sometimes they’re best friends.

This little evergreen and his best friend, a drip torch, are stitched together for life, just like controlled burns and forest health.

Issue: Responsible Forest Management

Height: 5 inches of pine, plus one drip torch bff

Made for: starting conversations about active forest management

Fun fact: these two have never once been apart, but are ready to join Ricky on the national park trail


The great news is plushies are earned by showing up for these issues. Keep an eye out for:

  • Petitions and advocacy campaigns tied to each plushie’s issue.
  • Pop-up booths and education activations where you can learn the issue and walk away with a new friend
  • Special campaigns, like naming our new plushie.
  • Be the first to know when actions go live by ensuring you’re an ACC member and following us on X and Instagram.
