Our Volunteer Activities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our work focuses on enacting meaningful climate solutions, and our activities are organized around CCL\u2019s 5 levers of political will<\/a>.  Here are some of the activities our volunteers do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write, call and meet with our elected officials<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

One of the simplest and most important things we do is regularly email and\/or call our members of Congress about legislation we want them to support.  We also meet with them regularly, both in Washington, D.C. and here in Michigan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
