CCL Action Teams: A Place for Everyone

Action Teams are organized around specific interests and affiliations. Each team hosts its own meetings and most are national if not international in membership. Action Teams work to create the political will for a livable world. By creating Action Teams, Citizens’ Climate Lobby demonstrates its commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Consider joining an Action Team! For example, here are a few of many options.

In order to join an Action Team, you need to become a CCL member. That is free and you can learn more by signing up on the national office secure communication platform.

In addition, we wanted to share a recent webinar that shares a wide range of timely information. About the speakers:

“Karina Ramirez and Drew Eyerly present, ‘Understanding What You Don’t Understand,’ which outlines the importance of working together while embracing differences.
