Dr. Danny Richter
CCL volunteers are not heading to Washington this June, but they will still lobby congressional offices—this time virtually. Talk to your chapter leader or congressional liaison if you’d like to participate in a lobbying meeting. To help you prepare, we’re offering two live training sessions with CCL’s Vice President of Government Affairs, Danny Richter. On May 28, Danny will explain our primary and supporting asks for Congress, and he’ll offer guidance for lobby teams as they plan their meetings. On June 11, Danny will give up-to-date insights on the dynamics in Congress and how that will play into our meetings. Find all the details here, and plan to join us! If you are new to CCL and want to lobby, you’ll also need to take the Climate Advocate Training. Live sessions will be held at 8 p.m. ET on May 20 and at 1 p.m. ET on June 3. Click here for either session or to watch a recording of the training.
If you want to go deeper, like practicing effective communication skills or reviewing the ins and outs of the policy we support, check out these live training sessions happening on Tuesday and Thursday evenings between now and the conference. Other news this week: Hang out with CCL’s Karina Ramirez: CCL’s Diversity Outreach Manager, Karina Ramirez, is next up on our weekly sessions with CCL staffers.

Learning the levers: Appalachia Regional Coordinator Jon Clark led a Five Levers Organizing Workshop (FLOW) over the weekend for volunteers in his region. The workshop, designed by Field Development Director Elli Sparks, orients volunteers to the five levers of political will and gives them ideas about where to put their skills to work. Read more. |
