Chesapeake Climate Action Network
The Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) is working to collect stories from West Virginians through the VideoAsk platform. We are looking for folks from all walks of life to show Senator Joe Manchin his constituents do support the full $3.5 trillion reconciliation package before Congress. If folks would prefer to have a one-on-one conversation rather than using the VideoAsk platform we can also set that up. Any questions can be sent to: holly@chesapeakeclimate.org
CCAN will also be tabling events in the Fall (unless things continue to be cancelled due to COVID) and invite any interested volunteers to contact Holly at the above email. “Groovin with the Grove” is one of the events Oct. 8-9 in Albright, WV
We also hope to get West Virginia organizations, businesses and elected officials to sign this letter supporting the Clean Electricity Payment Program. Any support getting more signatures would be much appreciated.
