    CCL Training: Bringing Policy Support from Trusted Messengers to Congress

    CCL Training: Bringing Policy Support from Trusted Messengers to Congress

    The CCL Government Affairs team is recommending that all chapters secure at least one letter from a trusted messenger to their member of Congress (MOC) and deliver the letter in a June lobby meeting. Folks in your chapter likely know local elected officials and these community leaders are very often trusted messengers to their MOCs. Or you can use our CCL Community training to identify and meet with CEOs and business owners who may be trusted messengers.  This training provides some ideas to start the process of identifying and recruiting allies in our communities. Some of the best tools for convincing friends their voices make a difference and walks us through how to start inventorying your group and potential allies who can support CCL's efforts at the national level.

    Ernesto Alcantar, Potential Energy Coalition | April 2024 Monthly Speakers | Citizens' Climate Lobby

    Ernesto Alcantar, Potential Energy Coalition | April 2024 Monthly Speakers | Citizens' Climate Lobby

    Join CCL for our April monthly meeting to hear more from our campaign partners Potential Energy about our focus for Earth Month on talking about climate change. For such a big challenge, we don’t talk much about climate change. All that silence means that climate change can feel less important to pay attention to than it really is. After all, if we’re not talking about it, how big can the problem be? For Earth Month, CCL volunteers are having climate conversations across the country with their friends, family, and communities. Our goal? 25,000 climate conversations that have a ripple effect, leading to more conversations in families, communities, and with elected leaders.  We'll be joined by Ernesto Alcantar, who leads Potential Energy's messaging, research and strategy across several topic areas, including extreme weather, electric vehicles, and nuclear energy. Before joining the team, Ernesto was a management consultant at Boston Consulting Group, where he led strategy and transformation work across sustainability, healthcare, and commercial banking. We'll also hear from Dr. Katharine Hayhoe about her best tips for having a successful conversation about climate change, learn more about how you can participate in the campaign and log your conversations.

Effective training in a polarized world

Very balanced and useful training for engaging more in climate action

Great training, volume could do with adjusting

The training is great, and if more people took it, we would have a lot more accomplished on climate. I wish they would increase the volume a bit to bring it on par with other podcasts.
