While the South is baking in record heat, the Midwest and Great Lakes are struggling with the latest round of wildfire smoke.

It was an amazing day for meeting with Congressional staffers and Members of Congress. Who knew that discussing permitting reform and carbon fee and dividend could keep us all so engaged and motivated!? #ccl2023 Grateful to all my fellow CCL folks and the staff!

There's nothing like being shoulder to shoulder on Capitol Hill with hundreds of other #GrassrootsClimate advocates!

Together, we will ensure a livable world for ourselves and future generations.

The official ballot language for State Issue 1 (proposed by LaRose) fails to give voters a clear picture of what it and its GOP godparents aim to do. The Ballot Board should have drawn that picture. But it didn’t. The Supreme Court must step up.

From @ChrisQuinnOhio, @clevelanddotcom
W/Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine offering phony reasons for supporting Issue One on Aug 8 ballot, which would effectively remove ability of Ohioans to change their constitution, we had a discussion about this sinister effort:

Letter to Editor
Someday there will be an issue you do care about, and you will regret giving up your voice as a citizen of this state.
It’s time for “we the people” to put our legislators in their place. Vote NO on August 8.

Forcing drilling for natural gas on state lands is not a solution and gas is not "green energy" @GovMikeDeWine HB507 is not right for Ohio! Listen to the science, reject this bill. #climate

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Climate change is real, it’s human-caused, its impacts are serious … and there are solutions if we act now.

[Alison Ricker @alisonricker]

@GovMikeDeWine Veto HB 458! Keep Ohio elections fair and equitable. It's the least you can do strengthen democracy in our state and show respect and support for all Ohio voters.

[FairDistrictsOhio @OhFairDistricts]

TAKE ACTION NOW!
Overnight Republican leaders passed terrible new voting restrictions into law when they approved Sub. HB 458.
The Governor has up to 10 days to stop this harmful bill from becoming law. That’s why we are urging you to take action now!

Thank you to @MMacheledt (lower right), legislative assistant for @Jim_Jordan, for another thoughtful and respectful conversation about federal climate policy with the Oberlin chapter of @citizensclimate! #grassrootsclimate

[Alison Ricker @alisonricker]

@MeganSMitchell @oberlincollege Excellent!

[Citizens' Climate Lobby @citizensclimate]

Great op-ed from a CCLer in Nevada.

The message: #ClimateChange is on the ballot in this election, and we must vote for the candidates willing to take strong action to avert catastrophe.

It's CCL's birthday! (You had to know we're a Libra) 15 years of generating the political will for a livable world. We've accomplished a lot in that time, and there's more to come.
