Working across the aisle on climate change is a CCL Core Value. One of the ways we enable this is by practicing skills for communicating as allies rather than adversaries. Join us for this training workshop on May 12:
Conservative Messaging Workshop
Join Citizens' Climate Lobby DC for a Conservative Messaging Workshopled by Jacob Abel, a CCL Conservative Fellow, to discuss the most effective strategies for reaching out to conservatives on climate change. The workshop will be an opportunity for those that lean towards the left side of the political spectrum to:
• Understand which messaging strategies work best for conservative audiences • Learn to view climate issues from the right side of the political spectrum • Overcome common barriers and conversation-stoppers when communicating with conservatives • Learn about the many different types of conservative audiences • Build trust and ultimately form relationships and partnerships with conservatives and conservative groups
