Message from Danny: Congress is ready to engage on climate change again
In his first message since April, CCL VP for Government Affairs Danny
Richter tells us that Congress is ready to talk about climate change
again, "and they're coming to the table with lots of ideas."
Danny gives an update on two pieces of legislation CCL is supporting,
the RECLAIM Act to help distressed coal communities and the Growing
Climate Solutions Act to help farmers get paid for using climate-smart
practices. He also has suggestions for actions our volunteers can take
now.
"As they head into their districts during the August recess, we want
members of Congress to know that climate change continues to be a
priority for Americans all across the country, and we're ready for them
to take action."

Grasstops: Flagstaff endorses H.R. 763
Municipal resolutions endorsing the Energy Innovation Act carry great
influence with members of Congress, and an Arizona CCL chapter scored a
big win late last month when the Flagstaff City Council passed a
resolution supporting H.R. 763. It took two attempts in 2017
[link removed]
to pass a resolution backing carbon fee and dividend. This time around,
however, the group encountered no resistance when the bill was brought
up. "No one asked any clarifying questions about the resolution this
time — a significant change," said group leader Shawn Newell (shown
above, second from right, during a lobby meeting). "Afterward, one city
staffer told me she thought it was because we've built trust with the
city over the years."
CCL volunteers are regularly activating the " five levers

" of political will in their communities. If you'd like to learn more
about how to pull the grasstops lever like these volunteers did, watch
or read this training on Engaging City and Local Governments for
Resolutions.
