Praise for Mark as CCL leadership transitions to Madeleine
In a letter to CCL supporters this week
[link removed]
, CCL Executive Director Mark Reynolds announced that he will be joining
CCL's governing board next year, and current CCL President Madeleine
Para will take the reins.
"Mark's extraordinary vision and inspirational leadership as CCL's first
executive director has been transformational for hundreds of thousands
of climate advocates," Zaurie Zimmerman, chair of CCL's governing board,
said in a press release

. "Months of planning and Mark and Madeleine's long partnership ensure a
successful transition, as Mark passes the baton at a peak of CCL's
success."
The press release also includes quotes from Ross Astoria, CCL's first
board chair, and Mary Selkirk, chair of the board's nominating
committee. They expressed excitement at Mark's contributions as a board
member and confidence in Madeleine's incoming leadership.
Looking ahead to 2022, Madeleine said, "CCL is poised to take some big
next steps as an organization. It's a true honor to be in the position
of guiding those next steps. With the dedication of an incredible staff
and the enthusiasm of volunteers across the country, I look forward to
seeing what we can do together."
For those who wish to share photos, stories, and appreciation for Mark,
we've set up a Kudoboard for volunteers and supporters to post messages.
SAY THANKS TO MARK

In other news this week:
Encouraging sign for price on carbon: Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), a
longtime advocate of carbon pricing, told Roll Call last week
[link removed]
, "I'm still optimistic we will add a polluter fee to the Build Back
Better legislation here in the Senate, something that will both generate
needed revenue and allow us to lock arms with our allies."
Give your input into additional climate policies: CCL is committed to
advocating for carbon fee and dividend. But in 2022, we expect to expand
our focus to include additional climate policies. Want to share your
thoughts on what those might be? Fill out this form

More cosponsors for H.R. 2307 : Rep. Adam Smith (WA-09) and Rep. Kathy
Manning (NC-06) signed on this week as cosponsors of the Energy
Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act. That makes 92 House members who've
signed on to this breakthrough carbon pricing legislation.
CCL on LA radio : CCL staffers Steve Valk and Jerry Hinkle were on Los
Angeles radio last Saturday talking about how we can generate the
political will to put a price on carbon. They were interviewed on Matt

Donate to CCL : At Citizens' Climate, we believe everyday people —
empowered with accurate information, effective training, and access —
can move our government to take meaningful action. We need to keep the
pressure on Congress to get important climate legislation across the
finish line in 2022, which is why we need to raise $1.5 million by Dec.
31. Can we count on you to pitch in?

Grassroots: AZ CCLers go to Festival of Science
CCLers in Arizona organized a State of the Climate Panel at this year's
Flagstaff Festival of Science. Chapter leaders Shawn Newell and Josh
Roubik set up and helped present the panel.
"I wanted to do it [...] because climate change is a huge science issue,
so it should be part of the festival," Shawn told the Arizona Daily Sun
in a recent article. "It was terrific for them to let us talk about
political policy solutions at a science festival."
Josh went on to explain the importance of a carbon price as one of the
most powerful examples of a local and individual solution to climate
change.
