CCL Training: Campaign Season & Candidate Activities

As election season picks up steam, this training will equip volunteers with a review of CCL's advice on engaging candidates and members of Congress effectively during campaign season and public events. Participants will learn how to ask concise, solution-oriented questions, connect climate solutions to local priorities, and build relationships that make climate action feel constructive and achievable. We’ll also cover how to stay proudly nonpartisan while encouraging science-based climate ambition and documenting outreach to strengthen long-term advocacy. Whether you’re new or experienced, this session will help you show up with confidence, curiosity, and a focus on building political will for climate solutions.
