With only 5 minutes a month

Call your representatives in Congress. Organized grassroots lobbying CAN have an impact! We have seen carbon fee and dividend legislation introduced in congress over the last several years, with congressional co-sponsorship that has grown along with CCL membership.

You can find your congressional representative contact information and a sample script here. While you’re there, sign up for monthly reminders to call.

See Ann Arbor CCL’s David Gurk share some general tips before you make your call.

As Citizens’ Climate Lobby membership has grown, so too has lawmaker carbon tax (EICDA) cosponsorship
