About Us
If you are new to the team, here are a few good ways to get started:
We are a group for Catholic CCL'ers focused on using Catholic Social Teaching on Care for Creation to educate and activate Catholics on global warming and putting a price on carbon. Pope Francis has written an Encyclical, or teaching, Laudato Si': On Care for Our Common Home. This powerful and far-reaching letter is a perfect moral teaching for CCL to use when speaking to Catholics and people of all faiths.
The Opportunity is Now- watch our Catholic Outreach webinar that describes three actions that you can take now to move your member of congress toward cosponsoring the Energy Innovation Act.
