#ShareDemocracy by posting your Capitol Hill photos
There are lots of ways to change the world. Some ways — as we saw at
Capitol Hill on January 6 — rely on fear, intimidation, and violence.
But here at CCL, we have a different way. We make positive change
through education, connection, and respect.
That's the message in our new video posted on Facebook
[link removed]
, Instagram
[link removed]
, and Twitter
[link removed]
this week. We're showing the world how CCL engages with democracy.
You can participate, too! Post photos of times when you've lobbied with
us on Capitol Hill, and use the hashtag #ShareDemocracy.

In other news this week :
Regional conferences : Last weekend the Mid-Atlantic and North Winds
regions held virtual conferences. The two regions joined together for an
opening plenary attended by 267 volunteers. At the North Winds
conference, attendees heard recorded messages in their closing plenary
from Sen. Deb Fischer (R-NE) and Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE). The
Mid-Atlantic conference featured a "Bridges to Coalition" panel of
diverse American thought leaders who shared stories of what shaped them
as Americans. More conferences are coming up on Feb. 20 for the
Tornadoes, 3rd Coast, Northeast and Appalachia regions. Details and
registration pages can be found here

Take action this week
If you have a little time: Are you a realtor, or do you know a realtor?
We're asking all realtors to head to the Real Estate Climate Declaration
[link removed]
to express their support for the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend
Act. Each signature helps us get traction with Congress and with the
National Association of Realtors.
If you have more time: Review CCL's core values
[link removed]
and post in your favorite social media how you are able to use or
personify one of CCL's values in your climate advocacy work. Tag your
member of Congress, use the hashtag #GrassrootsClimate, and include a
link to CCL's core values page in your post.
You can also connect with your nearest CCL chapter
[link removed]
to take action in your community, or join one of CCL's national online
Action Teams

to take action on specific topics like agriculture, health, faith, and
more.

Chapter development: Talent show draws crowd
In planning their December meeting, the Fresno CCL chapter realized they
had a little extra time, so they decided to do something fun that would
give their members a chance to learn more about each other: A talent
show. Calling it the Fresno Follies, members entertained the group with
synchronized juggling, piano playing, drumming, singing and more.
Co-leader Connie Young said the meeting "broke our attendance record
(both online and in person) and lots of younger people showed up for
it."
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 to pull the chapter development lever like these volunteers
did, watch or read this training on transformational organizing.

Increased participation among CCL's younger members. During CCL's
