Citizen's Climate Lobby Days  (June 23 - 25)

Join Madison CCL in their lobby days at the nation's capitol.  PSR Wisconsin is looking for interested health professionals to participate in this effort.  Training, talking points and some funding will be provided.  Citizen Climate Lobby is an effective advocate for the carbon fee and dividend, a policy change that would put a reasonable fee on fossil fuels and allow renewable energy resources to compete.  PSR Wisconsin supports this effort, and is seeking nurses, nurse practioners, midwives, physician assistant and physicians who would like to speak with their federal legislators to promote this solution to climate change.  Training, talking points and some funding will be available to support you work as a citizen lobbyist.  Contact Pam Kleiss, 608/232-9945, for more information.
