We want to feature two important events--tonight is a discussion on Race & Culture, and Thursday is our first social event of the year "Make Room to Connect".
Citizens’ Climate Lobby will host monthly conversations about the intersectionality of race, culture and climate. This a two hour, standalone workshop led by CCL Diversity and Inclusion Director Karina Ramirez where we will tackle the challenges of race. This is not an easy workshop and will require you to look at how structural racism has impacted you directly (either positively or negatively). You will gain insights about yourself that will help build your strength as a climate activist. The first workshop, limited to 200 participants, is this Friday, Feb 19, from 7pm to 9pm ET.
What: Conversations on race When: TONIGHT, Friday, February 19, 7:00pm-9:00pm ET More details here
Help us connect with community leaders in DC to build support for climate action. One of the biggest impacts volunteers can make in building momentum for climate change is gaining the support of restaurants, faith groups, universities, and more. This Tuesday is CCL's basic training on the Grasstops lever, and will introduce tools and resources available to you. Join Todd Elvins, CCL's Action Coordinator for a webinar on how to best conduct outreach to grasstops leaders.

On February 25 at 6pm, Make Room to Connect with local and familiar environmentalists. Enjoy our social hour lounge breakout activities including listening and dancing rooms with freedom to explore, a touch of mindfulness and a virtual recipe exchange.
The DC Chapter Development team works to onboard new members to CCL and develop veteran members. We brainstorm ideas to improve these processes and welcome open conversation at our meetings. It's a great place to come if you have an idea for increasing community cohesivity, improving the onboarding experience, and enhance diversity and inclusivity. We meet twice a month -- the Monday prior to the Chapter meeting, and two weeks after that. Volunteers at all levels are welcome to join and participate!
