April 2024 Monthly Actions & Meeting with guest speaker Ernesto Alcantar, Potential Energy

Each month, Citizens’ Climate Lobby supporters gather locally for a monthly meeting where we educate ourselves by listening to a guest speaker. Go to your local chapter's page to find out more about your chapter's plans for listening in. April's Monthly Meeting was held on Saturday, April 13th at 1:00 pm ET and featured Ernesto Alcantar, Senior Strategy and Insights Analyst, Potential Energy. 

Join our monthly meeting to hear from our partner Potential Energy on how to talk about climate change during Earth Month to help us reach our campaign goal of 25,000 climate conversations. We'll be joined by Ernesto Alcantar, who leads Potential Energy's messaging, research and strategy across several topic areas, including extreme weather, electric vehicles, and nuclear energy. Before joining the team, Ernesto was a management consultant at Boston Consulting Group, where he led strategy and transformation work across sustainability, healthcare, and commercial banking. We'll also hear from Dr. Katharine Hayhoe about her best tips for having a successful conversation about climate change.
