Want to help build support for the clean energy tax credits in R states and districts?

We are looking for CCL volunteers:

-who are interested in reaching out to CCL volunteers in R districts asking them to email their MOCs supporting the clean energy tax credits

-who need help making calls to CCL volunteers in their R district asking them to email their MOCs supporting the clean energy tax credits.

Please make offers and requests in this forum so you can connect with each other directly to help speed up the process. For those needing help making calls, I encourage you to connect with your state coordinator to help with identifying who best to focus on and to be sure they are in the loop.

Here's a calling script that callers could use and we encourage you to follow up with an email/text:

"Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I’m calling from Citizens’ Climate Lobby. The most important thing we can do as an organization right now for our climate is to preserve clean energy tax credits. You live in a really important district, so I’m reaching out today to see if you could send an email to your member of Congress requesting they support the clean energy tax credits?

The most effective message to share with Republican offices is that these tax credits provide a boost to our economy and create jobs. All the details are in the email tool at this link: cclusa.org/take-action “

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for all you do!

Thank you for organizing this, @Bill Barron!

Montana can use help calling our CCLers - asking them to email Congress using the tool (cclusa.org/take-action)

None of our four MOCs have signed either of the letters for or against the clean energy tax credits - so it would be great to add to the 81 letters generated so far.

Please email me laurel.eastman@citizensclimate.org and I'll share the Google sheet with phone numbers where we can track who's calling who.

Thanks in advance everyone!

I opened the discussion in Nerd Corner so that any questions about script wording and implications, please go there!

We can keep this thread on topic for organizing phone calls.

@Laurel Eastman The New Mexico CCL chapter would be happy to help you reach out to folks in Montana! I will email you about the Google Sheet shortly.

CCL Community's Sitewide Forums are an easy and exciting way to interact with other members on CCL Community.  The Sitewide Forums are focused on subjects and areas of general interest to members.  Each forum consists of topics that members have posted, along with replies from other members. Some forums are divided into categories to group similar topics together. 

Any members can post a topic or reply to a topic.

The Sitewide Forums are open to the entire CCL community to create, comment on, and view online discussions.  Posts and comments should address the subject or focus of the selected forum. 

Note: Categories can only be created by community administrators.
