Last call to get out climate vote with Environmental Voter Project
As we head into the home stretch for the 2020 election, CCL volunteers
have pitched in with Environmental Voter Project to ensure that people
who care about climate change are heard at the polls. Last week, we
released a video
[link removed]
featuring some of our volunteers who've stepped up in this effort.
"I work with EVP because I know politicians are most responsive to
voters that vote," said Jeff Joslin (above), co-leader of the North
Atlanta CCL chapter. As EVP points out, members of Congress know which
of their constituents actually vote. It's public record.
Between Oct. 30 and election day, EVP will make a final get-out-the-vote
push, and they're looking for volunteers to sign up for phonebank shifts
. Can you call potential climate voters in these final days?

strategies and successes, with sessions about talking to conservatives,

Border carbon adjustments: As part of the European Green Deal, the EU
will impose a border carbon tax in 2023. CCL members from Europe, Canada
and the U.S. met with Canadian MP Paul Lefebvre to discuss the value of
the border carbon adjustment for Europe and the possibility of
implementing one in Canada. You can show your appreciation to Lefebvre

Take action this week
If you have a little time: Have you voted yet? If not, read up on the
voting procedures for your state and the deadline for dropping off your
ballot if you plan to do that. If voting in person, find your polling
place and plan how to safely line up and vote there. Your state probably
makes this information available, but you can also find information on
CCL's TurboVote page

and on vote.org

.
If you have more time: Watch the 15-minute CCL Pre-call Action Video

the actions that you see in the video, such as sending a message to your
members of Congress

to support a price on pollution.

Lobbying: Post-election meetings set agenda
As we look ahead to climate legislation in the next Congress, our lobby
days after the December virtual conference present an opportunity to
make fee-and-dividend a big part of the agenda. Congressional liaisons
in each chapter are scheduling meetings with House and Senate offices
the week of Dec. 7. If you want to participate in any of those meetings,
contact your group leader.
CCL volunteers are regularly activating the " five levers
[link removed]
" of political will in their communities. If you'd like to learn more
about how lobbying works in CCL and our upcoming lobbying opportunities,
