Dear Kathy,
Last June at our annual conference, many of us committed to passing carbon fee and dividend in 2017. My promise is still my promise. And with the exciting news we heard last week of the formation of a group of conservative leaders who are calling themselves the “Climate Leadership Council,” I am more optimistic than ever that this conversation will soon be taking place in Congress. We have always argued that conservatives leading on climate change was essential to legislation being passed
That’s why our 8th Annual International Conference & Lobby Day is a must-attend event! It is critical to maintain the momentum we built in 2016 so that we can pass carbon fee and dividend. Join me June 11th- 13th in Washington D.C. You’ll connect with volunteers from all over the world and will be inspired and recharged by what our hundreds of chapters are doing to create the political will for a livable world.
The first six weeks of 2017 alone have delivered a heavy dose of results. The bipartisan House Climate Solutions Caucus has welcomed nine new members - six of which are Republicans! - bringing us to 24 total members split evenly between the two parties.
Please join our volunteer constituents lobbying their members of Congress. I recommend you register now to reserve your spot before they’re gone!
I hope to see you in D.C. in June!
Mark Reynolds Executive Director
