This chapter is for Austin-area CCL members who live in TX10, TX17, TX21, TX25, and TX35 congressional districts. We meet (virtually) on the second Saturday of each month right after the CCL national call that takes place at noon CST.

The Austin chapter structure is guided by the Five Levers of Political Will.

More Info
Did you just join Citizens' Climate Lobby?
Start here!
First step: Attend CCL's intro call
If you have not already done so, attend an informational session. You can sign up for a live or recorded session here: https://citizensclimatelobby.org/informational-session/. Learn more about Citizens’ Climate Lobby and how you can make a difference in creating the political will for legislation that will put us on the path to reduce the emissions that are changing our climate. This session will introduce you to CCL's respectful, nonpartisan approach to climate activism that builds on shared values rather than partisan divides. At the end of the hour call, you'll feel empowered and ready to take action!Second step: Sign up for the Monthly Calling Campaign
We ask every member of CCL in Austin to commit to calling their congress member once a month to advocate for pollution pricing, or as we are used to calling it, carbon fee and dividend. We advocate for The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act in particular https://energyinnovationact.org/. But sometimes the message varies. You'll get a suggested script with your monthly call reminder. And if you've never called your representative, don't worry. It may sound scary, but you'll do it once and then think "wow, that was easy!" To learn more about the calling campaign and to sign up, go to: https://cclusa.org/mccThird step: Attend our next monthly meeting
CCL chapters around the country meet via Zoom on the second Saturday of each month. A national call usually features a speaker. When that meeting winds down at about 12:45, we all switch to our local meetings on a different Zoom line.National meeting start time: 12:00 noon Zoom link: cclusa.org/meeting
