Get loud, take action: Prepare for election season!

With the midterms closing in, it's time to make climate an election
issue. Fortunately, CCL's "Get loud, take action" page has some
suggestions for making a greener difference during campaign season and
at the ballot box.

Every election cycle, tens of thousands of environmentally minded voters
fail to turn up at the polls. CCL Executive Director Madeleine Para
emphasizes that it's important for environmental voters of both parties
to be consistent voters. Madeleine says, "That would create an
environment where every Republican and every Democratic candidate has to
have a strong position on climate change in order to be viable."

There are several actions you can take to make sure that every candidate
of every party sees climate as a central issue:

loud, take action" page today.

Conservative voices sound off in media

In the weeks following the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA),
CCL conservatives have reached out to their local media to make their
voices heard.

In last week's Weekly Briefing, we featured CCL Conservative Fellow
Hannah Rogers, who went on a media tour

about the parts of the IRA that appeal to her as a young conservative.

Since then, CCL volunteers have gotten the conservative version of our
Inflation Reduction Act op-ed published in newspapers and magazines
across the country, including Arkansas

, North Carolina

, Pennsylvania

, and Tennessee

.

Live in a red area? You can send the conservative version of the IRA
op-ed to your local publication too.

SUBMIT THE CONSERVATIVE OP-ED

CCLers Tom Moyer and Lauren Barros also recently got an op-ed published
in Utah's The Salt Lake Tribune about the importance of Republican
voices in solving climate change.

Tom and Lauren point out that bipartisan laws are better than partisan
ones, and that Republican participation is pivotal in making a
difference.

"When the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) passed the Senate recently, it
got no Republican votes. Bipartisan legislation is always better than
laws passed by one party, but the IRA incorporates many good ideas that
Utah legislators have been championing," the two write.

The duo goes on to state that Utah Republicans have the opportunity to
lead the way on climate change: the state and country depend on them.
