Republican Congressman John Curtis is ready to tackle climate change
Utah Congressman John Curtis is among the growing number of Republicans
currently speaking up on the need to tackle climate change, and he
expressed that view in a virtual town hall meeting hosted by CCL
volunteers earlier this year.
His comments are featured in a new CCL video.
"If [Republicans] don't take a seat at the table, can we really complain
about the discussion at the table? Can we really expect to recruit and
retain the upcoming generation of Republicans if we can't look them in
the eye when we talk about the Earth? This is a Republican
bread-and-butter issue. We care about the Earth. Now let's show it,"
said Curtis.
Rep. Curtis' participation in the town hall is a great example of the
relationships CCL volunteers build with Republican members of Congress
that lead to them making climate change a priority.
Watch and share the video on Facebook.

CLC's Ted Halstead dies: The President and CEO of the Climate Leadership
Council, Ted Halstead, died in a hiking accident last week. His
organization has brought together an impressive coalition of
conservatives and businesses to champion their "Carbon Dividends" policy
to price carbon. "He spoke at Citizens' Climate Lobby conferences
several times," said CCL's Mark Reynolds in a statement. "Ted's
leadership and optimistic vision have done so much to bring conservative
thought leaders to the table on climate change." Read more in this CCL

Grassroots: Virtual tabling in Maryland
The coronavirus pandemic presents a challenge for grassroots outreach,
but CCL volunteers in Maryland are up to the task. This Saturday,
they're hosting an online tabling event, Virtual Eco-Org Palooza
[link removed]
. The event, from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET, features nine organizations
that will present short videos about their work. Participants can then
visit each group in breakout rooms to learn more. In addition to
enrolling new volunteers, the event is a great way to collaborate and
develop relationships with local organizations.
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 grassroots outreach lever like these volunteers
did, watch or read these trainings on Community Outreach.
