As budget discussions proceed, chances for a carbon price look good
By now, you've probably seen this recent New York Times article
[link removed]
about CCL's preferred policy, carbon fee and dividend, being considered
as part of the budget reconciliation bill. Our VP of Government Affairs,
Danny Richter, has put out a new message underscoring what a big deal
this reporting is.
He explains, "The policy we've been working on for more than 10 years is
being reported on — in one of the most prominent newspapers in our
country — with confirmation that the major players in the Senate are
working on putting the policy together." In other words, Danny says,
"This is huge!"
In his message to volunteers, Danny also touches on the state of the
budget discussions in the House, which are still underway. He said,
"Both moderates and progressives agree that the worst case is that
Congress does nothing. So while I'd rather have not had this delay, I
still think that a reconciliation bill stands a very good chance of
happening."
Inclusion of carbon pricing in the reconciliation bill continues to look
good, Danny said. Watch Danny's encouraging message now.

In other news this week:
Who supports a price on carbon? As we continue our campaign with
Congress and the White House to enact carbon pricing, it's important to
point out the broad support this policy enjoys among the public,
scientists, economists and elected officials. We now have a page on
CCL's website
[link removed]
about that support, which you can refer to and share on social media or
with your members of Congress.
Responding to negative press : Discussion about carbon pricing is
picking up in the media, and we may see criticism emerging about the
policy. To guide volunteers about when and how to push back on these
critiques, we've posted this resource on CCL Community

.
Register for November virtual conference : We're a little more than five
weeks away from our November virtual conference, Grit & Gratitude,
happening Nov. 13-14. The conference, featuring keynote speaker Ayana
Elizabeth Johnson

prepare for the challenges ahead. Learn more and register here

Big endorsement for Energy Innovation Act : To gain support for the
Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act
[link removed]
, CCL volunteers have generated thousands of endorsements for the
legislation. One of the biggest endorsements came last month when
California volunteers succeeded in getting the Los Angeles Unified
School District, second largest in the country, to endorse the bill.
Carbon pricing in Spanish media : CCLers Iona Lutey and Mark Reynolds
recently published a Spanish-language op-ed in New York's El Diario
[link removed]
about the importance of finding climate solutions after hurricane-caused
flooding damaged New York. Additionally, CCLers had a Spanish-language
interview on La Voz Radio
[link removed]
, discussing the impact that climate change has on urban areas.

Take action this week
If you have a little time: Continue to reach out to the White House and
let the President know that you want a price on carbon. We have set a
goal of 20,000 contacts to the White House
[link removed]
by October 15, and we are over halfway there. Once you have contacted
the White House, please share this action with your family and friends.
If you have a little more time: Join our online October national meeting
this Saturday. Our guest speaker will be Utah state legislator Ray Ward,
who co-signed an op-ed earlier this year with two dozen other Utah
Republicans endorsing a carbon fee and dividend. The call will be on
October 9 at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET. Learn more and add to your own
calendar

Track your trainings and 5th lever expansion
As CCL grows and learns more about volunteer engagement, we are
expanding our fifth lever of political will to encompass "Chapter and
Volunteer Development." Why? Since last year's launch of the CCL Action
Tracker, the second-most requested update has been to provide a way for
volunteers to log CCL trainings they've taken. Since training is an act
of developing yourself as a CCL volunteer, you'll notice these changes
across CCL Community, the Action Tracker, and on our main website
starting today.
There are many benefits, including:
Providing volunteers the chance to track their trainings, see completed
trainings at-a-glance, and encourage everyone to deepen their knowledge
by taking additional trainings.
Deepening our overall understanding of volunteer engagement while
providing our Education Team with insights into how to improve CCL's
training program.
For the future, it will provide CCL leaders and staff with more insight
into their volunteers' interests and trainings they've taken.
More information is provided in this week's CCL Community Release Notes.
