Because so many Austin chapter members will be in Washington, D.C. for CCL’s National Conference and Lobby Day, there will be no local chapter meeting this month. But you can mark your calendar now for the July 8 meeting. In the meantime, here are a few things we’d like you to know about.
- There will be the usual second-Saturday national call at noon, June 10. Respected long-time climate leader Bill McKibben will be featured. The link to that meeting is: cclusa.org/meeting.
- We can all participate in the national conference via livestream this Sunday and Monday. Registration link is here. Even if you only have time for a couple of sessions, I know you’ll find it useful. And it is free.
- Action Alert: you should have received a text and/or email action alert this week. Mine came on June 6, subject: June Action: Push on Permitting Reform. If you didn’t receive that email, let me know. Or if you prefer text for future alerts, go here:

- If the horrible air pollution in the northeast or 100-degree temps in Siberia are spurring you to want to take more climate action, you can fill out this form https://bit.ly/ATXcclVolunteerInterests and a local volunteer will be in touch. And/or you can donate to the Tour Divide Campaign to support actions throughout CCL’s Third Coast Region.
That’s all for now, except to encourage you to take advantage of the many opportunities for personal and professional development in the training resources on CCL Community. And please let me know if there’s any way I can help you in your own climate activism or if you’d just like to know more about the Austin chapter of Citizens’ Climate Lobby. As always, I’d love to hear from you!
