Marin Chapter Membership Meeting
Saturday, March 11, 2023
9:00 AM PT
Please join us as we follow up on our all-district February 15th virtual meeting with Rep. Jared Huffman, at which we presented CCL's expanded policy agenda and heard his views. Collaborating with the Santa Rosa chapter, almost 50 CCLers learned how they can get more involved. We'll continue elaborating how you can participate at whatever level you choose, focusing on navigating CCL Community's rich resources to find your action team and trainings, and opportunities to act locally.
We'll also hear more about how communities can encourage electrification through the massive Inflation Reduction Act. The speaker will be CCL member Jay Bassett of Atlanta, GA, a 30 year veteran of the EPA. Most IRA webinars focus on its direct rebates and tax credits, which leave out the many households that are renters, including many Black and Hispanic-led households. Jay’s career and passion are dedicated to engaging communities - especially Community Based Organizations - in optimizing federal funds for local benefit, and addressing support for landlords, especially of multifamily properties. EJ members should pay close attention to his recommendation.

Then, join the National Call at 10 AM, with
Rev. Mitch Hescox, Evangelical Environmental Network
In the quest to find common ground between Republicans and Democrats on climate solutions, communities of faith play an important role in bridging the partisan divide. Members of the Evangelical Environmental Network focus on caring for creation. Rev. Hescox will describe their efforts to educate and mobilize evangelical Christians for a stable climate and a healthy, pollution-free world. Rev. Hescox, co-author of Caring for Creation: The Evangelical Guide To Climate Change and a Healthy Environment, serves as a member of the National Association of Evangelicals’ Board of Directors and EPA’s Clean Air Act Advisory Committee.

Citing expert opinion and using a climate simulator developed at MIT, Dr. Joseph will demonstrate the impact of numerous proposals, such as increasing the use of electric vehicles, reforestation, and taxing carbon.
