Description
How does CCL Work?
- CCL uses a mix of group empowerment and support which includes monthly national conference calls with a guest speaker.
- CCL trains volunteers to speak powerfully to their elected officials, the media and their local communities in order to inspire members of Congress to be leaders and spokespersons for a sustainable climate.
- CCL volunteers meet with their members of Congress, launch letter-writing campaigns, write letters to the editor and op-ed pieces, and generate editorials to promote a sustainable climate.
Methods of CCL
- Organize groups of citizens by Congressional District, of at least 5 volunteers per group.
