Looking good online: You've probably noticed that social media is very
visual—images, graphics and memes are the name of the game. To help you
get in that game, our marketing team has created a set of free graphic
design templates

Take action this week
If you have a little time: Make a splash on social media with us. On
August 12, United Nations International Youth Day, young people in CCL
are coordinating a Twitter "Thunderclap," where lots of people post the
same message around the same time. For this Thunderclap, the message is:
"Climate legislation is essential to reversing the existential crisis
that threatens today's youth. < @YourRep> , please act on this important
issue! What will you do to protect our planet? #ClimateThunderclap
#InternationalYouthDay". (Just replace <@YourRep> with your member of
Congress' Twitter handle.) Everyone can participate by posting the tweet
at 9 a.m. PT. You can also help out by browsing the #ClimateThunderclap
hashtag and amplifying other tweets with likes and supportive comments.
If you have more time: Connect with the youth in your life on climate
change. If you know teenagers or college students, invite them to join
CCL's August national meeting
[link removed]
this Saturday. If they're interested, you could also invite them to join
either CCL's Youth Action Team
[link removed]
for middle and high school students or CCL's Higher Ed Action Team
[link removed]
for college students.
You can also connect with your nearest CCL chapter

to take action in your community, or join one of CCL's national online
Action Teams

to take action on specific topics like agriculture, health, faith, and
more.

Grassroots: Connect with LGBTQA community
Want to do grassroots climate outreach to the LGBTQA community? CCL's
LGBTQA + Allies Action Team met last week
[link removed]
, guided by team leaders Stacey, Brielle and Melissa (pictured). The
team has opportunities for volunteers who are willing to make phone
calls, send some personalized emails, and boost the team's social media
presence. All of this will help as the team works to lobby and educate
the Congressional LGBTQ Equality Caucus on the intersections of climate
action and social justice. Join the team

on CCL Community if you'd like to get involved.
If you'd like to learn more about doing grassroots outreach, watch or
