After officially re-launching in February, CCL’s Fayetteville chapter has been a flurry of activity. Co-led by @Joanna Person-Michener and Sterling Smith, the chapter’s membership ranges from older community members to local college students from the University of Arkansas.
CCL Fayetteville has tackled everything from tabling events, to letter drop-offs at local congressional offices, to grasstops outreach. Fayetteville Mayor Lioneld Jordan has approached the chapter about helping build support for protecting the city’s tree canopy, and he even attended a chapter meeting! Chapter members learned about Fayetteville’s new climate action plan through a presentation from the city’s Resilience and Sustainability Director.
And, in all of these action-packed months, the chapter has prioritized meaningful time together to connect. They went for a hike at a local nature reserve for one of their recent meetings, because for Joanna and Sterling, resilience is the name of the game.
“We’re trying to instill hope for people,” Joanna says. Sterling adds, “When all of us can support each other and just move the needle little by little…we can get there.” Keep crushing it, CCL Fayetteville!
