Why come to D.C.? CCLers have big impact when we lobby in person
"I can't tell you how many times I've had conversations with staffers
who have been so impressed by how many people we bring to the Hill every
June. Every single chair in the Longworth cafeteria seems to be taken by
a CCLer, and that really sends a key message to members of Congress that
we're there, we're united and we're going to push them to advance
priorities on climate. "
That's CCL Senior Director of Government Affairs Jenn Tyler describing
the impact of CCL's presence on Capitol Hill during our June lobby day.
There is still much left to be done to ensure the U.S. reaches its
climate goals, and CCL supporters like you can play a big role by
lobbying in person en masse. It's okay if you're not actively involved
with your local CCL chapter — attending our national conference and
lobby day is a fantastic way for you to learn more about climate policy,
get trained to meet with your members of Congress, and visit Capitol
Hill.
In our lobbying push this June, CCL will build on the momentum from our
Conservative Climate Leadership Conference and Lobby Day, which was held
last week. Conservative volunteers met with Republican offices to
discuss permitting reform as well as carbon fee and dividend. NBC News
covered the conference and published a story

about how Republican engagement on climate change is growing.
Check out the invitation from Jenn and CCL VP for Government Affairs Ben
Pendergrass to attend this year's conference and lobby day in this video

June!

In other news this week:
• Members of Congress weigh in: CCL is not alone in pushing for clean
energy permitting reform — Sen. Angus King (I-ME) and Rep. Scott Peters
(D-CA-50) just published a joint piece in TIME
[link removed]
about the issue, saying, "We're in a race against climate change. In
this Congress, our focus must be on how to plan, permit, and approve
climate action projects much faster than America is used to."
• The right kind of climate optimism: A recent Vox article
[link removed]
explored the idea of climate optimism, identifying "changeable
optimists" as a group that "thinks the future can be better but knows
that a better future won't happen on its own." That type of optimism is
part of CCL's core values
[link removed]
. Through optimism, we turn our concern about climate change into
action, and we make a difference!
• CCL staffing updates: We've recently made some changes to our national
staffing. Executive Director Madeleine Para details the changes in a
letter on CCL Community

Your gift + $100,000 bonus gift = BIG impact
You did it! We saw an incredible outpouring of grassroots support during
our March fundraiser, which resulted in us surpassing our goal of
$10,000 in new monthly contributions by about 6%. This means we'll
receive the $100,000 bonus gift from our angel donor! Hundreds of
volunteers like you rose to the occasion and we want to say THANK YOU.
This collective support will have a big impact on our climate solutions
work.
Didn't have the opportunity to make a contribution during the campaign?
