Usage Instructions
A primary ask should be made in every meeting. For full instructions for how to use these documents, see the Reviewing Primary & Secondary Asks training.
We recommend using these primary ask resources to help frame the conversation in your lobby meetings. We also recommend emailing the resource to your member of Congress or staffer ahead of your lobby meeting to help them prepare.
For the Fall 2024 Lobby meetings, we anticipate our ongoing focus on permitting reform to be our primary ask. For more information see The Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024 FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions).
If you have any questions, email liaison.coordinator@citizensclimatelobby.org.
