CCL Huntsville - Climate Advocacy Training Workshop
Details
You are invited to a free, CCL Climate Advocacy Training & Group Start led by Citizens' Climate Education / Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCE/CCL), a nonpartisan volunteer group (www.citizensclimatelobby.org) focused on national policies to address climate change.
Getting started with a new organization can be daunting, that’s why we’ve made it easy to get you plugged in with our Climate Advocate Training so you can begin contributing right away. All are welcome to attend.
Climate solutions are a priority, now more than ever. Our goal is to make sure our Senators and Representatives are part of the solution! Join us to:
- Learn the basics of becoming an effective climate advocate
- Review the structure, mission, and purpose of CCL
- Learn how to build constructive relationships with elected representatives
- Review CCL’s methodology of creating political will
- Practice how to appeal to the best in others and build common ground
- Practice how to be part of a Congressional lobby team meeting with your members of Congress
- Understand CCL's legislative policy agenda including carbon pricing, clean energy permitting reform, building electrification and efficiency, and healthy forests.
