Citizens' Climate Lobby

CCL’s climate and environmental justice action team works to help our volunteers learn more about the history and background of environmental justice and climate justice groups.

These groups represent communities that have been underrepresented, underpaid, and under-serviced since the beginning of the U.S. It is important within CCL's outreach work that these voices are included in our work to ensure that any proposed policy protects vulnerable and low-income households from price increases.

Join David Holmquist & Jim Rine from CCL's climate and environmental justice action team to learn, discuss, and practice two larger approaches within environmental justice outreach:

1. Building personal relationships built on genuine interest.

2. Working towards broader community engagement through shared alliances.

The webinar will provide participants with best practices from the field and help empower attendees to think about moving beyond diversity and into inclusion within their own groups' efforts.

Paul Hawken is an environmentalist, entrepreneur, author and activist who has dedicated his life to environmental sustainability and changing the relationship between business and the environment.

He is the author of Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming. The book is based on the work of researchers from around the world who identified, researched and modeled the 100 most substantive, existing solutions to address climate change. What was uncovered is a path forward that can roll back global warming within thirty years. It shows that humanity has the means at hand. Nothing new needs to be invented.

Join Carla Wise (CCL’s Progressive Outreach Team Lead) and Gary Rucinski (MA State Coordinator) to explore some of the theory behind the progressive worldview and key takeaways to apply in our conversations with our friends on the left. The lesson will also dive into the importance of honing our deep listening abilities, stepping back to understand more fully where others' objections, concerns, and alternative climate policy preferences might be.
