Registration opens for June in-person conference in DC
Registration has opened for CCL's June conference in Washington, D.C.!
This year's conference is the first in-person CCL event in two years,
and will be from Jun. 11-13.
You can expect to hear from Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Citizens'
Climate Lobby Board Member Mark Reynolds, Maryland Regional Director at
Climate Xchange Wandra Ashley-Williams, and many others.
Conference-goers can add Saturday seminars onto their registration
tickets for deeper dives into climate topics, such as working across the
political divide, finding CCL's next climate policies, and inclusion
discussions.
Training and breakout sessions will help attendees build their skills as
leaders and volunteers in the climate movement and learn how to engage
members of Congress.
While CCL National will not be organizing in-person D.C. lobby meetings
during this conference, volunteers can organize in-person or virtual
lobby meetings with their members of Congress in consultation with
congressional liaisons and state coordinators. Our lobby week will be in
conjunction with the first International Week of Action in partnership
with Citizens' Climate International. We can't wait to see you there!

Grassroots: CCL chapter talks climate over ales
CCL's Columbus chapter found itself in the news this past week. NBC 4
reporter Ben Orner joined CCL Columbus for an evening of pizza, beer,
and climate discussion with the chapter's monthly "Ales and Climate
Tales" event.
The casual meetings feature a guest speaker who focuses the event's main
discussion on a climate-related issue. This month's speaker was Ohio
State University Ph.D. candidate and earth scientist Allison Chartrand,
who presented her research with glaciers.
The event is a timely one, explains chapter co-leader Donny Murray.
Central Ohio is projected to see hotter summers and more flooding, among
other costs.
"(CCL's events are) really just trying to educate the public on why
climate science — why climate change — is important to your everyday
life," Murray said.
