CCL's Danny Richter: Your advocacy is crucial in an election year
Dr. Danny Richter, CCL's VP of Government Affairs, is here with his
first legislative update of the year! Here's his message :
Our respectful, nonpartisan climate advocacy is more important than ever
in the context of an election year. He shares a story about how the
atmosphere we set helps to foster good bipartisan conversations in the
Senate Climate Solutions Caucus.
The Energy Innovation Act has welcomed its first cosponsors of the year:
Rep. Annie Kuster (D-NH-02) and Rep. Grace Napolitano (D-CA-32). Share

Grassroots: Reaching out on health and climate
If you want to convince people they should be concerned about climate
change, talk about the impact it's having on their health. That's what
Denver volunteer Kathleen Wells did by creating a presentation, "Health
Threats of Climate Change Along Denver's Front Range," which she
delivered to a group of 100 last November. The audience was very
engaged, and the presentation offered the opportunity to talk about the
Energy Innovation Act. More of her story

can be found on CCL Community.
CCL volunteers are regularly activating the " five levers
[link removed]
" of political will in their communities. To talk with other CCLers
about their grassroots outreach work and get advice or ideas for your
own, head to the "Engaging the Grassroots" forum on CCL Community.
