Primary Ask (Leave Behind)

When you hold a lobby meeting, whether with an aide or with a member of Congress, they want to know what actions we want them to take. Our Primary Ask (Leave Behind) sheet lets them know.
The primary asks listed here are intended to be used during CCL’s 2023 June Lobby Day.
It is recommended that you use a primary ask to frame the conversation in your lobby meetings. Send a primary ask handout and optionally 1-page Supporting Ask document(s) to your member of Congress or staffer ahead of your lobby meeting. To download the PDF resource, click on the button(s) below.
A primary ask should be made in every meeting. For full instructions for how to use these documents, see the Reviewing Primary & Supporting Asks training.
If you have any questions, email liaison.coordinator@citizensclimatelobby.org to help determine meeting topics and asks.
