Citizens Climate Lobby
We are a nonpartisan group of volunteers with more than 500 chapters and 120,000 members. We are working to create political will for climate solutions. You may have read about our work, and our Founder, Marshall Saunders, in the April Rotarian Magazine: (https://www.rotary.org/en/climate-change-rotary-member-gains-ground-citizens-climate-lobby ). CCL is unique in several ways. We focus on working with Congress to create a robust national policy on climate and energy. We build relationships with every member of Congress, based on respect, appreciation, and gratitude. We are optimistic. We believe that democracy works when ordinary citizens are actively involved-personal empowerment is one of our core values. I am writing to ask if the La Jolla Sunrise Rotary Club would be interested in hearing a presentation about climate change and how CCL is working to do something about it. There has been recent progress in our work with Congress (and particularly with Republicans) that I think your membership would enjoy hearing about.
