In other news this week:

• Bipartisan bill lays groundwork for CBAM: Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) and
Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) are releasing a bipartisan bill today called
the PROVE IT Act. The bill would require the Energy Department to study
the emissions intensity of certain products made in the U.S. and in
certain countries. This is an encouraging first step toward a carbon
border adjustment mechanism. Read more about the bill from the
Washington Post

Take action this week

If you have a little time: Email Congress for more permitting reform.
The recent debt ceiling bill included some clean energy permitting
reform provisions—but this issue is way too important to hit the brakes
on now. Clean energy permitting reform legislation could reduce carbon
pollution 12% by 2030. Email your members of Congress

and ask them to keep going on clean energy permitting reform.

If you have more time: Tune into our June call with Bill McKibben. CCL's
monthly call for June takes place this Saturday at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m.
PT. We will review the June Action Sheet

Featured chapter: CCL Alameda

CCL Alameda, led by Ted Obbard and Tony Sirna, is a large, longtime
chapter in California with a variety of teams dedicated to activities
like lobbying, tabling, media, and member engagement. The chapter
recently held their 5th annual Earth Day fundraiser, the Wild & Scenic
Film Festival. They invited their Congressperson, Rep. Barbara Lee
(D-CA-12), and her staff.

"Rep. Lee was unable to attend herself, but she sent a Field
Representative who presented us with a Certificate of Special
Congressional Recognition. We are grateful to be honored," says chapter
member Trish Clifford. The certificate recognizes the chapter's
"unwavering commitment to educating and inspiring the residents of
Alameda County to act on climate change" and thanks them for their
"continued contributions to our community and steadfast support in
safeguarding our planet and its inhabitants."

Also, as part of their Earth Day activities, the chapter's Building
Electrification Team put together a Home Electrification Fair, which
helped 80-100 people learn why and how to replace their gas appliances
with electric ones.

"We networked with people at allied organizations and local government,
with high school students and business owners. We posted to social
media, contacted news outlets, and told our friends," Trish says. "So
the fair raised CCL's local profile and with it an awareness of our
work." Keep it up, CCL Alameda!

CCL has nearly 400 chapters across the country. Find your local chapter
today and get plugged in.
