CCL’s Rapid City chapter in South Dakota is a hard-working group committed to bringing about climate action. Co-led by @Mary Deibert, @Alan Anderson , and @Karla Deuter, this chapter is “small but mighty,” as Mary says.
Recently, the chapter hosted a series of events that have energized the community and engaged potential new members. They have organized film screenings of “Purple Mountains” and “Common Ground,” two documentaries focused on the importance of bipartisan climate action. They plan to host two more events in September and December.
CCL Rapid City also knows the value of relationships. Along with lobbying members of Congress, Rapid City is well-connected with the elected officials’ staff members at the local and federal levels. The chapter has also been collaborating with other environmental organizations in the area, creating a coalition of like-minded individuals ready to push for climate action. The Black Hills Environmental Coalition has members from CCL and from many other organizations such as the Izaak Walton League, Norbeck Society, and the Nature Conservancy. About 15 volunteers get together in person each Monday morning to plan the next steps for their advocacy.
We’re cheering you on, CCL Rapid City!
