We are having a movie afternoon on Sunday, August 17, 3:30 pm, at Phelps County Courthouse. We'll watch a new documentary called Hollow Tree, that follows three teenagers coming of age in their sinking homeland of Louisiana. For the first time, they notice the Mississippi River’s engineering, stumps of cypress trees, and billowing smokestacks. Their different perspectives — as Indigenous, white, and Angolan young women — shape their story of the climate crisis. Learn more and view trailer at https://hollowtreefilm.com/.

Citizens Climate Lobby

THIS is why we lobby. As citizens, we counteract corporate lobbyists and speak for the will of the people. We meet directly with our elected representatives on a local, state and federal level year-round. Three cheers for citizen lobbyists! 🎉🎉🎉

CCL Rolla took a road trip to West Plains Visitor Center in a USA Tours bus on Monday. We had perfect weather, perfect viewing, excellent box lunch and snacks, and an awesome bus crew who enjoyed it as much as we and the passengers did! Traffic was flowing slowly on the way back until the turnoff to Springfield, then smooth sailing and home by 5 pm.

We set up our CCL booth six times this year! Celebration of Nations on Sept 23 was our last and best. People stopped by all day long. We were busy talking climate and handing out jelly beans for the Yale Super Short Six Americas Survey and Action remedies in the "Climate Anxiety" booth. It was a lot of fun!
