Push For a Price On Carbon,"

"We've been running a marathon for years working to get a price on
carbon, and it's at that point now where it's sprint time."
Watch Mark's video message to hear an update on where things stand in
Congress with carbon pricing legislation and how you can add to the

Growing Climate Solutions Act update : Last week we asked you to email
your Senators to vote for the bipartisan Growing Climate Solutions Act
when it comes to the floor, and 4,397 of you sent messages. Thank you
all for giving this bill one more push! We expect that this bipartisan
bill, led by Sen. Debbie Stabenow and Sen. Mike Braun, will soon be
brought to the Senate floor for a vote. Keep an eye on future Briefing
emails for updates about the progress of this legislation.

Lobbying: Fun video supports calling campaign
Some of our younger volunteers in the Portland (OR) Youth Action Team
wanted to help out with CCL's Monthly Calling Campaign, so they made a
short video to demonstrate how easy it is to leave a message with your
member of Congress. One volunteer makes the call while she's lying on a
couch, one calls while she's putting on makeup, and another calls while
she's running on a track.
A steady drumbeat of calls to congressional offices is an effective
lobbying tool to influence representatives and senators. Hats off to
volunteers Megan Mandel, Adelle Iseri, Loella Dickey and Ella Adyani for
their work on this project. Watch and share this fun video with friends
and invite them to join the calling campaign.

look at the International Energy Agency's recent report on achieving net

endeavor. Read more
