CCL makes over 10k contacts to Congress during BBB negotiations
Since last week's Weekly Briefing, CCL volunteers rallied at the call to
action, smashing the goal of 10,000 contacts to Congress. Currently, CCL
volunteers have made 11,808 contacts to the President and to the Senate.
Now we're reaching for the next big milestone: 15,000 contacts.
While Congress is currently focused on voting rights to begin the
midterm year, they are continuing to plan their next steps on Build Back
Better. That is why this period of time is so valuable for calling and
emailing to elevate climate as a priority, explains CCL Strategy
Director Tony Sirna. Learn more in Tony's CCL Community post here

Keep up the great work, and continue to let Congress know that you are
concerned about climate!

In other news this week:
January 6 statement: Last week marked the first anniversary of the Jan.
6 Capitol attack. The events of that day ran counter to the core values
that we believe in: appreciation and gratitude for one another,
respectful relationships with elected leaders, and faith in the
institutions of our democracy. You can read CCL's full statement here

Beef up communication skills: One way to work on respectful and
productive communication is through attending a Braver Angels workshop.
This workshop on Jan. 30 is produced by California CCLers, but welcomes
attendees from coast to coast to learn effective ways to discuss climate
change in a challenging time. For more information, click here

goal of $1.5 million, a record-breaking milestone for Citizens' Climate!

people are looking for answers, Citizens' Climate offers solutions —
meaningful, practical solutions — and guidance on how to pursue them."

Most middle-schoolers are concerned with the latest video game or boy
band, but 12-year-old CCL volunteer Thea Dugas is worried about climate
change.
Thea, from Maine, recently saw her letter to the editor published in
Portland Press Herald, in which she made the case for effective climate
action.
Thea writes

, "When you read this, are you going to take a few notes and put it
aside, or are you going to research actions everyday people like you can
take?"
Thea encourages readers to join CCL and push for a carbon price.
