Hear Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson at CCL's November conference

One of the reasons you don't want to miss CCL's November virtual
conference — "Grit & Gratitude"

[link removed]

— is the opportunity to hear from marine biologist, writer and podcaster
Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson.

Ayana co-edited the best-selling book "All We Can Save" and co-founded
the All We Can Save Project, which promotes the leadership of women in
solving the climate crisis. Her work includes the intersectionality of
racial justice and climate change, pointing out that we can't address
one issue without addressing the other.

The co-founder of Urban Ocean Lab, which develops "rigorous, creative,
equitable, and practical climate and ocean policy for the future of
coastal cities," Ayana says that saving our oceans is as important as
protecting the rainforests when it comes to addressing climate change.
Writing in Scientific American, she said the ocean "offers major
opportunities to abandon fossil fuels, sequester tons of carbon, and
create a sustainable food system."

CCL's conference, Nov. 13-14, comes at a critical moment for solving
climate change, with Congress working to move legislation that includes
a number of measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including the
possibility of a price on carbon. The conference will provide a space to
celebrate the work we've done to advance carbon pricing in Congress and
to plan for what's needed next. Join us for this joyful and inspiring
event.

What's happening with the reconciliation bill? News outlets are
reporting that Senate Democrats will likely reach a deal this week on a
framework for the budget reconciliation package. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse
tweeted

yesterday, "Ongoing discussions include assurance to Senators that
emissions goals, including the role of a carbon polluter fee, will be
addressed after a reconciliation framework is agreed to." Keep an eye on
CCL Community forums for updates, like this one

Editorial endorsements for carbon pricing: A number of CCL chapters have
urged their local editorial boards to support a price on carbon in the
reconciliation bill. The latest endorsement comes from the The Daily
Sentinel

[link removed]

in Grand Junction, Colorado, which said, "We're calling on our Senators
Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper to back this proposal and get it in
the bill." Senator Bennet responded yesterday by tweeting the editorial

and saying, "I'm pushing to include [a carbon price] in the
#BuildBackBetter budget."

Grassroots outreach: Power in the Park tabling

CCL Mid-Atlantic Regional Coordinator Sabrina Fu has been tabling at
Maryland's Power in the Park events to inform local residents about the
importance of a carbon price.

One visitor to Sabrina's table was the Green Monster (pictured above), a
local mascot in Maryland who frequents Power in the Park and other
sustainability events. "The Green Monster is part of the festivities and
enjoys playing basketball with the locals. It was so nice to hang out
with everyone, and to feel like a community again."

Thaddeus Waterman, the CCL state coordinator for Maryland, says the
Power in the Park series educates people about their energy costs and
clean energy opportunities. "These events are great opportunities for
CCLers to meet with the general public, as well as other organizations.
Through participating in these small local events now, we are already
being invited to larger opportunities in the future."
