Welcome to Citizens’ Climate Lobby Contra Costa County.  If you live in our County, consider joining us. We welcome experienced and inexperienced climate advocates and need you all.   Our group focuses on educating and mobilizing support for effective and fair carbon pricing, like the carbon fee and dividend policy embraced by National CCL. 
        
We conduct outreach, engage in media work, make presentations, send out a monthly newsletter to our supporters and  work closely with our member of Congress, Mark DeSaulnier.  He recently became a sponsor of the bi-partisan Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act.  

Some members are involved in faith organizing and others in Schools for Climate Action or Labor outreach. All members find what gives meaning and we make sure to have some fun along the way. 
 
Our chapter is an ally for local climate justice fights to keep fossil fuel expansion away from our local communities in order to support health and climate protection. We are proud supporters of No Coal In Oakland, for example. 
 
We believe that an effective and fair price on carbon is a key part of the mix of solutions that are needed NOW for climate protection. 
 
MEETINGS.  We usually meet the second Monday of the month from 6;30-8;30 pm at St. Anselm's church in Lafayette. Please contact our Chapter Leader, Cynthia Mahoney, to get on our mailing list or confirm an upcoming meeting time.  Cynthia's email is *protected email*.
