Effective Lobbying Techniques for Citizens with CCL

Join us for this online workshop with Citizens’ Climate Lobby on effective and approachable ways to talk with your lawmakers, make appointments, and connect over shared values. During the workshop, you’ll have the chance to practice mock meetings using real bills.

To get the most out of the workshop, we ask that you to do some research on your elected state officials and bring it with you to our session on January 8th.

  1. Find the name and contact information for your State Senator and Representative, including the Senate District (SD) and House District (HD) for each. 

    New legislator’s contact info will be posted on the Montana Legislature website. Returning legislator’s info can be found there now. You should also be able to google anyone and find their contact info via their campaign information.

  2. Get to know your elected officials: background, interests, family, etc. 

  3. Finally, try to find something you might have in common with each official: a value, a hobby, an experience, or an interest. From there, try to find something you can use for an appreciation in the lobby meeting (you may want to  use this in your mock lobby meeting).
