CCL’s Northeast Georgia chapter is doing great work expanding its membership and spreading its message within a predominantly conservative, rural community. Bob O’Brien recently took the reins from longtime group leader Vernon Dixon, whom he credits for significantly broadening the chapter's impact. The chapter is represented by an extremely conservative member of Congress — they maintain regular communication with his staff and actively seek common ground.
The chapter members regularly hold tabling events, present to service organizations such as Rotary, and write letters to the editor. They have partnered with local colleges, giving presentations on En-ROADS and climate solutions to local students and showing climate-focused films at the University of North Georgia - Gainesville. Their first screening was followed by a Q&A session with former congressman Bob Inglis. The chapter has also partnered with a forest-focused nonprofit, including holding joint events.
Northeast Georgia is an excellent example of a chapter keeping folks connected across a broad geographic area. With many volunteers located in the North Georgia mountains, and others based in cities, they offer a broad range of online and in-person activities to keep their chapter going strong and advocating for action on climate change. Thank you for your continued dedication and hard work, CCL Northeast Georgia!
