Citizens' Climate Lobby

Meeting in the home district of a member of Congress increases the likelihood of a face-to-face meeting and allows more CCL volunteers to participate in lobbying. This session will cover why "In-District" is so important and how to involve local people of influence (faith, business, labor and political leaders) in the meetings. And we'll demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach by describing some of our greatest successes.
