CCLers make climate election issue

Follow along from home: Register to join the June conference virtual
livestream

While hundreds of CCL volunteers will be heading to D.C. in June for our
national conference, CCLers who won't be traveling can join the fun from
home.

This virtual version of the conference will be hosted by Brett Cease,
Senior Director of Volunteer Education and Engagement. Online attendees
will be in a virtual lobby and will be able to chat with one another.
Volunteers who register can look forward to a host of panels and
seminars, some of which will be recorded, and others that will be
live-streamed during the conference on Zoom from June 11 - 13.

Here are just a few of the live events that you can look forward to
tuning in to:

The Climate Advocate Training Workshop will help new and old volunteers
alike understand CCL's methods and vision.

Lobby training with Dr. Danny Richter, CCL VP of Government Affairs will
reflect on this Congress and bring us up to speed on any current climate
action in Congress. He'll also share his perspective on the road ahead
for carbon fee and dividend and other key climate priorities.

A film screening of "Climate Emergency: Feedback Loops," which is a
series of five short films emphasizing why climate scientists have felt
increasing alarm.

Keynote speeches from guests like Alex Flint, Executive Director for the
Alliance for Market Solutions, and former Staff Director for the U.S.
Senate Committee on Energy & Natural Resources. Flint will share his
perspective on the process of budget reconciliation, how a carbon price
can fit in, and future opportunities for carbon pricing policy.

The virtual portion of CCL's June Conference will be on Zoom Events. To
register for Zoom Events, you must have at least a free Zoom account and
you will be prompted to log in to your Zoom account. If you don't
already have one, please sign up for a free Zoom account

Media: CCLers make climate an election issue

An article on Sudbury.com this past week detailed how climate activists
led a rally in Ontario, Canada and pushed climate action to be a focal
point of the elections. Among the activists were CCLers.

Cathy Orlando, the Program Director at Citizens' Climate International,
attended the rally with her daughter, Fridays for Future member Sophia
Mathur. Fridays for Future is a group of young climate activists under
the age of 16. Sophia, who is 15, was named International Young Eco Hero

just last year.

Cathy explained the importance of consensus-driven science reports, such
as the reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, as
one of the reasons that politicians should emphasize the importance of
climate policy.
