Thank you, @RepPressley , for supporting the teachers and education employees at @AFTunion. AFT endorses a #PriceOnCarbon - please include it in the #BudgetReconciliation package currently being discussed in the Senate to reduce emissions and save lives.

[CCL Boston Metro West @cclBostonWest]

A big New York Times story came out that talks about the state of carbon pricing discussions in Congress and even mentions CCL's grassroots efforts. Thanks @senatorsinema https://t.co/I5tYO2se9K

Good news: The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act picked up 3 cosponsors in the past week, including @RepJayapal, chair of the Progressive Caucus. Let them know you appreciate their support for a #PriceOnCarbon.

Encouraging news about a #PriceOnPollution!

Great profile of CCL Buffalo leader Patrick Whitford:

“It’s not a simple concept... We’re trying to get a bill passed in Congress that would use market forces to drive the price of carbon emissions up."

Why do we need a #PriceOnCarbon in the reconciliation bill?

Let us count the ways...

1) Current measures fall short of emissions goal. Robust price hits 50% reduction in 10 years on its own. (Continued in thread)

A #PriceOnCarbon is on the table. We need to make sure it ends up in the budget reconciliation bill. Tell your representative that this essential tool to fight #ClimateChange must be included. Our online tool makes it easy.

Must read from @KHayhoe in @TIME on beating #ClimateChange despair with action:

"We don’t need to have hope to begin to act. Instead, action engenders hope."

Here's a great & quick action ➡️ https://t.co/rj7ysRdPCv

One day left to call your senators while they are thinking about climate. Tell them to put price on carbon.

[Citizens' Climate Lobby @citizensclimate]

C'mon, people! It's Nick's birthday and all he wants is for you to write and call your senators so we can get a #PriceOnCarbon in this year's climate legislation.

Washington is pondering a mix of corporate taxes & new spending on green infrastructure, in the hopes of averting a climate disaster.

But if we want to limit carbon emissions, should we just tax them directly?

Today's last look:

Thanks to @JakeAuch for becoming the 56th cosponsor of the Energy Innovation Act #HR2307! We appreciate your support for putting a #PriceonCarbon and helping us create a more #SustainableFuture.

[Citizens' Climate Lobby – Boston Chapter @CCL_Boston]

.@BOSCityCouncil voted to adopt a resolution urging Congress to enact the Energy Innovation Act which would impose a financial cost on those who contribute the most to climate change while protecting economically vulnerable households.

Capitol Hill holds deep significance for CCL volunteers and staff, who have done hard work and spent happy times there over the years. Yesterday's violence was heartbreaking.
