Vermont Business Magazine Middlebury’s Center for the Blue Economy (CBE) in Monterey, California, invites all Middlebury College students, staff, alumni, and friends to join a virtual lobbying effort for ocean climate action on Wednesday, April 14, via Zoom. Participants, who will be organized by state coalitions, will join fellow citizens eager to see far-reaching policy progress on ocean climate issues.
“We have an unusual opportunity on April 14 to make our voices heard by members of Congress and their staff who shape policy,” said CBE Director Jason Scorse at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies. “As new climate laws are written, we want to be sure these policy makers understand and adopt job-generating equitable ocean solutions to the climate crisis. We’re hoping for all hands on deck the more of us who participate, the better our chances of success.”
