Made me think of this quote from Marjory Stoneman Douglas (captured off a slide at the recent #CCL2024 conference)

Gosh, I thought this one would get more clicks. I continue to be disheartened at how much doomism / doomerism gets clicks (but actually decreases action), while positives and actionable posts get minuscule engagement.

I’m clearly not social media savvy. Maybe somebody can explain better strategies.

#CCL2024 was a great conference. My first as a CCL member & volunteer. I’d gladly entertain questions.

As promised--link to Jerome Foster II's keynote address to the Citizens' Climate Lobby Summer 2024 Conference.

Note: This video link is cued to the last part of Jerome's introduction. It's part of a >9-hour day-long youtube broadcast of Monday's conference plenary session. Jerome delivers a great keynote--highly recommended. His keynote address is ~35 minutes

The day before this, a very different approach was taken by over 900 @citizensclimate volunteers (including yours truly). Dressed in business attire, we engaged in over 430 constituent meetings with Members of Congress--Democrats, Republicans, and Independents--and their staff, lobbying for clean energy and climate-friendly legislation. #ClimateAction #CCL2024

@citizensclimate 2024 Lobbying Day is a wrap. Collectively, CCL met with over 430 members of Congress or their staff, lobbying for four pieces of clean-energy and climate-friendly legislation. #ClimateAction #ccl2024 #lobbyilobbyists #uspol #climate #ClimateChange #LessDoomMoreAction #proveit #ProveItAct #ccl

Meeting with two of Representative Betty McCollum’s staffers went well!

Rep. McCollum is generally supportive of environmental issues, and is a big proponent of the Mississippi River Restoration and Resilience Initiative (https://mccollum.house.gov/MRRRI)
