at CCL's 2020 conference
More than 2,000 of you have registered to attend this year's virtual conference on June 13, and we're looking forward to seeing you there! Part of Saturday's program will feature John Wood, Jr., from the organization Braver Angels. He will discuss overcoming polarization—a crucial element of our work to bring Republicans and Democrats together on climate change. On Sunday, June 14, CCL is offering four special seminars to extend your conference experience. One of those will be "Depolarizing Within," to help you put John's message into practice. You could also choose to attend our seminars on the Energy Innovation Act, international climate policy, or diversity within CCL. Space is limited, so register today!
