What a great kickoff! Thrilled that they got John, Hahrie, and Shi-Ling.
Staff said something like 4400 people registered. If you have questions, get them in early and upvote the ones you want answers to!

Also, Jillian Romsdahl‍ , did you see that Brett shouted out your EVP effort? Someone asked about Georgia and Brett gave them http://bit.ly/ccl-evp-ga

Let's keep the conversation going. What breakouts are you planning to go to?

 

I wish I could go to all the breakouts, so I'm glad they're being recorded! Thinking about attending Getting to Know the Household Impact Study and Prep for A Great Lobby Meeting today, and then the Sunday Seminar A Lens Into Race and Climate. The conference is already so inspiring!

 

I love this story that Hahrie Han shares: When FDR was elected president, a union leader who he was close to as governor as NY provided a laundry list of asks for the new president. In response, FDR said 'make me'". As climate advocates, we have to make our politicians care. And we have to make them care about bipartisan collaboration too.

PS - I'm sad to see Hahrie Han left my alma mater, UCSB, but I'm thrilled that it looks like they are near us in Johns Hopkins!

 

Yay Jillian Romsdahl‍!

 

I am INTO this Cesar Chavez quote! Talk to one person, then talk to the next person, then talk to the next person. How many new people do you talk about climate to every month?

Add this Dolores Huerta quote
“Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.”
 

 

The Primary Ask that Danny is referring to right now:
Primary Ask (Support Is Building Leave-Behind): https://community.citizensclimate.org/resources/item/19/237  
(the "Carbon pricing is Popular" handout is just below the Primary Ask)

I didn't notice that! That's so exciting!! YAY!!! =D

 

Hi everybody--just joining the discussion after watching the opening sessions. Now watching the summary of 2020 household impact study

 

I'm really enjoying the Household Impacts study.

Lots of background info here:

Here is the study specifically for Washington DC

I’m in the Conservative Outreach breakout. One of the conservative fellows was able to partner with a R candidate to publish Op-Eds all over CO. So inspiring. 

 

I'm curious about what Rick Knight mentioned on the pollution impacts of the Energy Innovation Act on low-income communities. It's so cool to see how the financial impacts work, but I was also wondering about the distribution of local environmental impacts and whether they would continue to disproportionately fall on environmental justice communities. If anyone has more info about this or resources I could check out, please send them my way!

 

Join us for the DC breakout here:

Thanks for joining us for the state breakout, y'all! Keep sharing your reflections here.

 

Diana Schoder‍ + everyone,

If there was a breakout that you didn't get to watch, but want to-- feel free to post the one you want to watch, and invite others to join you in a group watch. It's always more fun with people. Y'all can use my zoom room, just let me know what day and time you'd like to host which topic watch. They will all be at http://cclusa.org/videos , most likely by Sunday or Monday.

 

Wow - the first day was amazing!! I especially liked and learned the most from the Keynote Panel and Building Political Will breakout where I attended the social media session. 
This conference is especially meaningful to me because I first learned about and joined CCL from the June conference of this year. Now that I've gotten more familiar with CCL and the climate/environmental space, I think I'm able to better apply my learning to our chapter and my personal life.
So excited for tomorrow and everything we'll do next year! <3
