Time to get cosponsors for Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act
CCL chapters around the nation are getting to work on the vital task of
building support for the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (H.R.
2307), which was reintroduced in the House last week
[link removed]
by Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL).
Rep. Deutch said the legislation, which has 28 original cosponsors, is "
a market-based solution to put a price on carbon and drive the
transition to cleaner energy sources."
In a story Tuesday, the Washington Examiner
[link removed]
said Rep. Deutch and his cosponsors are " making a push for the Biden
administration to include a carbon price as part of its green
infrastructure package." Reports about the bill's reintroduction also
surfaced in The Hill

CCL values reflected in op-ed: Following the shooting deaths of
Asian-Americans in Atlanta, CCL Mid-Atlantic Regional Coordinator
Sabrina Fu had an op-ed published in the Baltimore Sun
[link removed]
. In her piece, Sabrina said, "I am asking all of us to go beneath the
surface of our fractured U.S.," and she concludes that everyone must
"start thinking of ‘we' over ‘me.'"
Postcards heading to White House: CCL volunteers have started sending
postcards to President Joe Biden in a campaign to let him know that
carbon pricing is a popular policy. So far, 326 cards have been mailed
through the MyPostcard app, which is providing 3,000 postcards free to
CCL. Send a card and encourage family and friends to do the same!

Grassroots: The return of tabling is near
As the weather warms and Earth Day events pop up, April is normally the
month when CCL chapters kick their tabling activities into high gear in
order to recruit new members and generate messages to Congress. Because
of the pandemic, however, tabling has been off the table for the past
year. With vaccination efforts rapidly ramping up, we are getting closer
to the point where people can safely gather together. We thought this
would be a good time to review best practices for engaging new people
through tabling. We have a previous blog that recaps a CCL webinar on
tabling, offering creative ideas like games, science demos, and fun
kids' activities. Check out the tips so you're ready when we can safely
return to tabling!
