Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse to speak at CCL conference
With registration open for CCL's June conference in Washington, D.C.,
CCL is excited to share that Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) will be
speaking at this year's conference. The conference is the first
in-person CCL event in two years, and will be held from Jun. 11-13.
Sen. Whitehouse has played a prominent role in climate advocacy and
support of carbon pricing, and is known for his "Time to Wake Up"
climate speeches
[link removed]
on the Senate floor.
Sen. Whitehouse introduced carbon pricing legislation, the Save Our
Future Act
[link removed]
, last summer. He stopped his "Time to Wake Up" speeches last year when
he thought climate legislation was inevitable. But with no climate bill
passed yet, he's resumed those speeches.
Other speakers include 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 topics like working across the political
divide, finding CCL's next climate policies, and inclusion discussions.

Media: Climate Anxiety Counseling
Tamara Staton, the Greater Pacific Northwest Regional Coordinator and
the Education and Resilience Coordinator for CCL, recently did an
interview posted on Medium about finding resilience in climate work. At
CCL, Tamara helps volunteers manage anxiety and prepare for climate
action through mental wellness resources offered through the Resilience
Building Action Team
[link removed]
.
In her interview, Tamara touches on themes like courage and resilience.
"Courage and resilience both support us in taking on challenges, with a
general sense of confidence that things will work out," Tamara says.
"The difference between the two, however, is that resilience enables us
to skillfully manage the setbacks."
Additionally, Tamara talks about the importance of taking the time to
recover from setbacks in order to come back stronger than before.
"Resilience helps us stay the course, through the highs and lows, and
helps us bounce forward from challenges. It is that characteristic that
gives us strength to stick things out when they are challenging, when we
are inclined to give up, but we don't."
