Spring has sprung and CCL DC has some great events set up for April. We are especially excited for our Climate Town Hall with Representative Eleanor Holmes Norton. Keep reading below for more details on some of our upcoming events!
At this momentous event, hosted by CCL DC and open to the public, Representative Norton will share her beliefs and strategies around climate action and answer questions about viable solutions to climate change, bipartisanship, environmental justice, and more. Attendees will also be invited to raise their own questions, comments and concerns with Representative Norton during the meeting. Please register and join us!
What: Climate Town Hall with Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton When: Wednesday, April 21, 6:00pm ET
Good news everyone! The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act has been re-introduced by Rep. Ted Deutch in the House of Representatives along with 28 original cosponsors.
The reintroduction includes a more aggressive emissions schedule, leading to net-zero emissions in 2050.
With your help, we will continue building support for carbon pricing from both Republicans and Democrats in Congress.
What can you do?
Write, Call, and Tweet our Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton to share this news.

CCL's featured speaker for April is Rev. Franklin Ruff!
At a time when distrust and animosity between our political parties appears to be at an all-time high, we need to take a step back and find ways to work together so we can solve the big problems facing our nation. We hear this month from Rev. Franklin Ruff, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Stillwell, Kansas, and past president of American Baptist Churches of the Central Region. He is also the Red Co-Chair of the Braver Angels Kansas City Alliance. Rev. Ruff is a conservative who says, "One of the things we can do to make [our country] better is look and see the humanity of others and to be humble." He'll talk about how to bridge differences and listen to each other to find common ground.
