(Still aiming for a chapter in each district) 00:23:43 Cathy Bowden: How can we connect with others in our state? 00:24:24 Debbie (she/hers) | Citizens Climate - DC | Piscataway lands: @Cathy If you join CCL, a chapter leader should reach out to you. http://cclusa.org/join 00:24:51 Debbie (she/hers) | Citizens Climate - DC | Piscataway lands: but you can find your closest chapter here: http://cclusa.org/chapters 00:24:56 Jim Martin-Schramm, Decorah IA: Before any white man set foot on this land, it was settled by the predecessors of bands we now call Sioux, Cherokee, or Iroquois. 00:25:28 Debbie (she/hers) | Citizens Climate - DC | Piscataway lands: Thank you Leslie, and Jim, and everyone who has shared their land acknowledgements.

How do we start to change that opposition? 00:37:58 Debbie (she/hers) | Citizens Climate - DC | Piscataway lands: @Lawrence-- Complicated question Jonathan can give a more detailed answer during Q&A, but briefly, these are some thoughts on public opinion and carbon pricing https://citizensclimatelobby.org/laser-talks/polling-data/ 00:38:46 Lisa Brenskelle: Will the slides be made available afterward? 00:39:00 Leslie Sand-NE Iowa CCL: Lawrence, the Yale Program on Climate Communications polls find that nearly 70 percent of Americans WANT climate action. We need to talk about solutions, and move them to action by calling their members of Congress. And, ask candidates what they will do, and let them know that you will vote dependent upon their answer ;-) 00:39:36 Lisa Brenskelle: Eco-America's most recent poll shows nearly 80% of Americans are concerned about climate change. 00:40:23 Janet Farness (she/her): How do we overcome the objection to a program run by the federal government? 00:41:06 David Voigts, Jesup, IA: Even with a carbon dividend would the poor be able to afford an electric car or solar panels? 00:41:21 Lisa Brenskelle: I would think that the argument for federal action is scale. The scale of action that is needed requires action at a national level. 00:41:56 Debbie (she/hers) | Citizens Climate - DC | Piscataway lands: @Janet, CCL trains citizens like you and me for overcoming those objections! Usually we do so by building relationships on an individual scale, and then asking community leaders (that we have built relationships with) to do so on a large scale. 00:41:57 Lisa Brenskelle: Electric cars are the cheapest (and have been for some years) when you look at lifecycle cost. 00:42:01 Janet Farness (she/her): I agree. How do we overcome our political divide and objections by those who feel the government is the problem? 00:43:23 Debbie (she/hers) | Citizens Climate - DC | Piscataway lands: @David, Jonathan may get into this later, but part of our answer is to make it so renewable energy becomes more competitive, so that such initiatives are within reach of everyone. Your specific question may require a more distinct policy-- carbon dividends are not a magic bullet-- just a first step 00:43:44 Phoebe Morad (she/her) - Lutherans Restoring Creation: This whole recording with the screen share will be posting on our YouTube channel and LRC site by the end of the day tomorrow. (I will ask presenters to send me a link if that's OK with them and post on the site as well) 00:44:09 Debbie (she/hers) | Citizens Climate - DC | Piscataway lands: @Lisa, agreed on federal action / scale! 00:46:31 Debbie (she/hers) | Citizens Climate - DC | Piscataway lands: @Janet-- It's my opinion that CCL has done more than anything to make space for conservatives to come to the table on climate change in the last decade. All the conservatives now who agree that climate change is happening is largely due to our efforts (in my opinion). The last time we lobbied Congress in person, we had 1300 people visit 529 offices on Capitol Hill (out of 535!)… that's a lot of crossing the political divide! 00:50:21 Jim Martin-Schramm, Decorah IA: https://download.elca.org/ELCA%20Resource%20Repository/Carbon_Pricing_Basics.pdf 00:50:35 Debbie (she/hers) | Citizens Climate - DC | Piscataway lands: Thanks Jim! 00:50:50 Jim Martin-Schramm, Decorah IA: https://lutheransrestoringcreation.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/ELCA-Carbon-Pricing-Principles-and-the-Energy-Innovation-and-Carbon-Dividend-Act-03-01-21.pdf 00:51:59 Debbie (she/hers) | Citizens Climate - DC | Piscataway lands: http://www.energyinnovationact.org/ 00:52:12 Phoebe Morad (she/her) - Lutherans Restoring Creation: thanks Jim! I'll also be updating this page with this recording - more details would be in all that Leslie will share: https://lutheransrestoringcreation.org/what-do-we-know-and-do-about-carbon-pricing/ 00:54:58 Lisa Brenskelle: Believe now passed in TX-LA Gulf Coast. 00:55:43 Lisa Brenskelle: for carbon fee & dividend 00:56:12 Robert Errett (He/Him): SW PA 00:57:13 Janet Farness (she/her): Terrific and inspiring! 00:57:14 Robert Errett (He/Him): Too late here in SW PA. deadline was May 18th.

There is a Household Impact Study nationwide and also for each Congressional district https://citizensclimatelobby.org/household-impact-study/ It is at a high level but it tells of the net impact (mostly net benefits or neutral) 01:06:01 Lisa Brenskelle: Depending on the time frame of the study, the outcome is that 2/3 of households benefit financially (longer-term study) vs. 53% benefit and an additional 19% break even (study of the first year’s impact only). 01:06:53 Lisa Brenskelle: Good summary at this wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_fee_and_dividend 01:07:52 Debbie (she/hers) | Citizens Climate - DC | Piscataway lands: @Lisa 👍 01:12:21 Jim Martin-Schramm, Decorah IA: Thanks for this excellent session! 01:12:49 Debbie (she/hers) | Citizens Climate - DC | Piscataway lands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNW746xWPPY&list=PL4RUlWtc8L5l9RGxcA6x6oNE1mKl6e1be&index=1 ^ This is how easy it is to make a Monthly Action Call for CCL 01:14:13 Jim Martin-Schramm, Decorah IA: Thanks, Carol! 01:14:13 Debbie (she/hers) | Citizens Climate - DC | Piscataway lands: A Fun video for you all! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDapDHq3XVg
