Making climate an election issue with EVP
You'd be surprised that some environmentalists don't vote. The need for
big congressional action on climate and the Supreme Court's recent EPA
ruling are both examples of why it's so crucial for us to push climate
to the forefront of campaign platforms during election season.
For our July monthly call, CCL heard from guest speaker Nathaniel
Stinnett, founder and executive director of Environmental Voter Project
(EVP). Stinnett explained that EVP identifies individuals whose priority
is climate, but who do not vote. Then, EVP engages in
"behavior-changing" work to encourage environmentalists to vote.
"The reason we are doing this is because we have identified that the
climate movement and the broader environmental movement has a huge
turnout problem," Stinnett explains.
For the 2022 midterm season, Stinnett's group has already identified
over 13 million unlikely to vote registered voters. By encouraging
environmentalists of all political affiliations to vote, climate is sure
to become a key issue for all parties during election season. You can
help make that happen.

Rotary Clubs plants trees in honor of CCLers
Maryland CCLers Cliff Strawitch and Jeff Turner of Howard County have
spent the last two years giving 20 talks to Rotary clubs on the East
Coast.
On June 15, the Rotary Club of Washington, D.C., and the National Park
Service honored Cliff and Jeff by dedicating two trees in their names to
be planted as part of the Trees for the Capital Program.
The Rotary Club of Washington, D.C., in conjunction with the National
Park Service, have been planting trees on the National Mall and around
the Tidal Basin for over 30 years. The Trees for Capital program also
provided Cliff and Jeff with GPS locations for their trees, so they can
visit them and watch them grow over time.
Congratulations to Cliff and Jeff for all their grassroots climate
outreach work, and we're proud to see them honored in this way.
