CCL poised to tackle climate

Take action this week

Upcoming trainings

No matter which party controls Congress, CCL ready to foster climate
action

(Lead item image courtesy of Creative Commons.)

As the country awaits the results of the midterm elections that will
determine which party controls Congress, CCL stands ready to make
climate a bridge issue, not a wedge issue, regardless of the political
outcome.

The last few years have shown that no matter who is in Congress, CCL
volunteers are capable of working across the aisle to make a difference.
CCLers' hard work set the stage for the passage of the Inflation
Reduction Act two months ago. Since then, CCL volunteers have
participated in nearly 2,000 local events and outreach activities to
make climate an election issue.

"Our volunteers have shown time and again, no matter who controls
Congress, that they can be effective advocates for climate solutions,"
said CCL VP for Government Affairs Ben Pendergrass. "We will continue to
build on the progress made in this Congress to preserve a livable world.
We live in a closely divided country, and we will need to move
legislation in a bipartisan fashion next Congress."

You can read about the midterm's impact on CCL's work in the press
release.

UU World features CCL volunteers

Hard work and polite persistence from several CCL volunteers in Texas
has paid off.

CCL Unitarian Universalist Action Team co-leader Nadine Kadell Sapirman
shares that after years of communicating with the national Unitarian
Universalist magazine UU World, the magazine decided to feature CCL
volunteers.

Texas UU CCL volunteer Diane Duesterhoeft helped bring this to fruition,
as well as UU CCL volunteer Peter Eisenhardt, who connected the magazine
to Unitarian Universalist Congresswoman Judy Chu (D-CA-27). Rep. Chu is
a vocal supporter of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act.

Several members of this action team worked hard and saw everyone as a
potential ally. By embracing CCL's polite mindset, they help create the
political will for a liveable world.
