I discovered Citizens' Climate Lobby in 2017 and was a founding member of the Hawaii Island Chapter in Sept 2017. CCL has helped me weather the literal and figurative storms of our current climate disruptions in Hawaii: weather bombs, hurricanes, record land surface temperatures, and a marine heat-wave that is destroying our coral reefs. CCL has helped me focus on a carbon-pricing solution that has the backing of over 3,500 economists, including Nobel Prize winners, and scientists such as James Hansen. It is exciting to see a climate pricing bill, The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act 2019 (HR 763), introduced in 2019 with bipartisan support. With support of CCL's fabulous staff I have learned to speak to community groups and to members of congress to urge their support for carbon fee and dividend legislation that is so urgently needed. Thank you for helping CCL to help me, and thousands of other CCL volunteers, in this most critical challenge of our time.
I have incredibly impressed with the support I have gotten from CCL since the first day I joined three years ago: from my chapter leadership, fellow members and national CCL. When I post a question on the bill Forum, I am always impressed with the quick response and useful information. One of the reasons I feel so comfortable asking people to get involved in CCL is because of how well it is run and the amazing resources that are available. CCL’s carbon fee and dividend is the single most effective to climate solution and has a wide base of support, making it easy explain and advocate for. I would say that at my core, I’m introvert; however, CCL has made me an extrovert for climate advocacy.
I started volunteering with CCL in 2012, helping to start the Portland, Oregon Chapter. When I first came to the organization, I not only knew very little about politics and economics, as they relate to climate change, but I also wanted nothing to do with either. I felt incredibly dumb around the whole issue, and completely small, ineffective, and hopeless that anything could be done. 7 years later, however, I have not only learned more than I ever thought possible about both topics, but I now feel incredibly passionate about speaking about and educating others about not only the power of their voice, but also about the power of a national legislative solution to move us forward into a livable future. Any organization that provides a solution that can help us reach the 1.5'C target set by the IPCC report, as well as one that educates, inspires and motivates its volunteer base to work to that end from a place of hope, deserves every dollar we can afford them!
