CCL hosting online Earth Day event with Katharine Hayhoe
With social distancing during the COVID-19 crisis precluding in-person
events and celebrations of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, CCL will
host a special online event on April 25 at 1 p.m. ET: Uniting from Home:
A virtual CCL event with Katharine Hayhoe.
After hearing from CCL Executive Director Mark Reynolds and Dr. Hayhoe,
participants will be invited to take an action. They can then join one
of several breakout sessions for special training, including Climate
Advocate Training for those who are new to CCL. Other sessions will be
led by Better Angels and CCL staff. We'll also have a panel of
volunteers who are featured in our video documentaries

.
CCL volunteers are encouraged to invite others to this special event.
"Because of Earth Day, April is usually one of our biggest months for
grassroots outreach," said Madeleine Para, CCL VP for Programs. "This
year, of course, our volunteers won't be able to do that kind of
outreach, so we hope this event will give everyone an opportunity to
introduce friends and neighbors to CCL."

Media: Op-ed ties COVID relief and dividends
Last week, we offered a new op-ed
[link removed]
from CCL Executive Director Mark Reynolds, and our volunteers wasted no
time submitting it to their local papers. The South Florida Sun-Sentinel
[link removed]
was one of the first papers to publish, thanks to volunteer Susan Kaye
(pictured), who shares the byline with Mark. Here's an excerpt of the
piece, which argues for the idea of dividends to Americans:
"It's clear that money in the hands of Americans helps keep our economy
running. That's why Congress and the President are about to use that
tool in the current crisis. When we've dealt with COVID-19, let's use
that same tool to combat climate change."
In the weeks ahead, this op-ed will appear in more newspapers throughout
the country. We want to thank everyone out there who is submitting to
their papers and getting the word out.
CCL volunteers are regularly activating the " five levers
[link removed]
" of political will in their communities. If you'd like to learn more
about how to pull the media lever like these volunteers did, watch or
read our training on op-eds.
