Call Congress to help with our November lobbying effort
On Nov. 12, more than 800 CCL volunteers will be on Capitol Hill to
lobby for the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act. Today is the
day we're asking everyone to call their members of Congress using the
tool at cclusa.org/callcongress

. Watch a short video

from CCL VP of Government Affairs, Danny Richter, which explains why
this action is so important. If you don't get a chance to call today,
calling on Thursday or Friday will be a big help too!
