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.
