CCLers do their part to make this election the year of the #ClimateVoter
With less than two weeks remaining before an election that will have a
big impact on climate change policy, CCL volunteers are enthusiastically
engaged in voting early and encouraging others to cast their ballots.
Whether mailing or dropping off their absentee ballots or participating
in early voting, our volunteers are sharing photos of themselves (above)
on social media with the hashtag #ClimateVoter.
CCLers are also helping to increase the turnout from voters who are
concerned about climate change by volunteering with the Environmental
Voter Project

.
"EVP's mission to increase voter turnout, particularly of
environmentally minded people, resonated with me," said CCL volunteer
Courtney Parks. "My calls are a powerful action to provide people with
information to make the voting process easier and safer."
More than 50 CCL chapters have participated in voter outreach with EVP,
and there are more opportunities available in the home stretch of this
election. "CCL volunteers have been such valuable assets on our team so
far this year," says Shannon Seigal, EVP's Organizing Director.
Share your #ClimateVoter pics on social media and read more about CCLers
who are getting out the climate vote in our latest blog post.
