Part Two of BRIDGE, the Strategic Advocate, is about turning that values-first philosophy into a precise, collaborative plan. By the end of this unit, you will be equipped to build trusted, long-term relationships with congressional offices and foster steady, measurable progress.
This unit will be available in April to allow all CCL volunteers to work together on our shared BRIDGE framework. Complete Unit 1 to build your foundation while you wait!
Available in April — Complete Unit 1 while you wait!
Learn how climate progress becomes possible when your Member of Congress experiences Salience, Feasibility, and Safety—and how your chapter’s actions intentionally build those conditions.
Use practical research tools to understand your Member of Congress’s district realities, incentives, influencers, and language—so your outreach is specific, respectful, and strategically targeted.
Practice assessing where your Member of Congress stands on one of policies CCL supports and choose a realistic next-step ask that strengthens trust and steadily builds political will over time.
