Find out more about what the Environmental Voter Project is up to this year for the midterms and how CCL volunteers can plug in! Our April Big Tent Climate Talks episode features a conversation with Brett Cease, CCL's Education & Engagement Senior Director and Shannon Seigal, Organizing Director with Environmental Voter Project! Join us for a new, engaging, quarterly conversation that spotlights leaders in the climate community outside of CCL doing important work in building coalitions around effective climate solutions. At CCL, we know solving climate change requires a variety of policies and perspectives. That's why we do this work under a big tent that includes folks from the right, the left, and every spot in between. In our Big Tent Climate Talks, we'll talk to a wide variety of climate leaders outside of CCL to learn more about how we can all work better together.
