Climate Advocate Training

From the Citizens’ Climate Lobby –

The Austin area chapters of Citizens’ Climate Lobby are offering a Climate Advocate Training workshop on Saturday, November, 4, 9AM to Noon, at 1901 Dexter Street, Austin, TX 78704. The session is free and will teach citizens the nuts and bolts of building political will and effecting change in positive, constructive ways.

Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) has a unique approach of achieving change through building positive, respectful relationships with lawmakers and focusing on specific market-based, consumer-friendly solutions that have received support from conservatives and liberals alike. The workshop will include a mini-lobbying training. CCL is non-partisan and has an active and growing Conservative Caucus. We are very interested in new conservative members who are concerned about protecting our families and communities from the costs and risks of extreme weather.

“Citizens’ Climate Lobby members here in Austin and all over the country are telling us that as members of CCL they no longer find climate change a depressing, insurmountable problem. They see solutions,“ says Ben Boral, the group co-leader of the Austin West/Central chapter. “They tell us they were worried about climate change and were looking for a way to make a difference. They are so grateful that CCL is showing them how, and that there is a group of wonderful people working together for the same goal. We want to offer more of our neighbors the same opportunity.”
