Local Climate Group Hosts Letter-Writing Event

DECORAH, Iowa—The Northeast Iowa chapter of Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL) will host an open house and postcard/letter writing event in Decorah on Earth Day, Tuesday April 22. Fifty-five percent of adult Iowans think Congress should do more to address global warming, and CCL exists to enable us to do that. The chapter held its first event on Earth Day in 2019 and now includes over 200 members of over 1800 across the state. This event will provide an opportunity to write to elected officials in DC, as well as have Q&A about CCL in general. Postcards and other writing supplies will be provided, as well as guidance about topic ideas. Similar opportunities will be held in the Danan Lansing building during the upcoming Winneshiek County Earth Day Festival on Saturday morning April 26. • When: Tuesday, April 22, 5:15-6:30 PM. Come and go as you are able. • Where: Decorah UCC, 209 W. Broadway In addition to hosting events like these, Northeast Iowa Citizens' Climate Lobby volunteers regularly communicate and meet directly with the offices of Senators Grassley and Ernst and Representative Hinson to urge them to support federal policy that will help benefit our economy by reducing carbon pollution. Chapters across the state also sponsor a Young Iowans to DC project, enabling young people to take their concerns directly to the DC offices.
