Nevada State Coordinator
Joanne Leovy
Joanne has been a Las Vegas chapter leader since it's founding in 2017. As a family doctor, she's especially concerned about protecting people from climate change impacts. When she's not working or thinking about CCL, she might be volunteer doctoring in Guatemala or in response to disasters and emergencies, biking, hiking, skiing, paddling, jogging or watering my garden with collected rainwater.
Nevada State Coordinator
Michelle Hamilton
Michelle has a background in finance, marketing and business strategy development in high tech manufacturing. She's been an environmentalist most of her life, trying to walk lightly on the planet. After waking up to the reality of climate change and the need for more people to get involved politically, she joined CCL in 2019.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find a CCL chapter in Nevada?
Fill out the join form, and we’ll connect you with your closest local chapter automatically based on your zip code. A volunteer from your local chapter will reach out to let you know when their next meeting is being held and how you can start to get involved.
What will I do as a volunteer with CCL Nevada?
As a volunteer, you might get involved in any of these types of activities:
- Meet with your Senators, your Representative, and their staff about climate solutions.
- Write and speak about climate solutions in your local newspaper and to local journalists
- Talk about climate solutions to your community through local events and presentations.
- Educate and engage your local leaders so they can speak up in support of climate solutions.
- Organize your local CCL chapter to keep volunteers active, inspired, and effective.
When you sign up and get connected with your local chapter, your Group Leader will get to know you and help you find meaningful activities that fit with your skills and interests.
Can I participate if there isn’t a chapter in my part of Nevada?
Absolutely. Many Nevada volunteers participate from areas without a nearby chapter — you can dial into CCL’s national meetings on Zoom, take monthly actions from home, or volunteer with one of CCL’s national Action Teams.
We can also support you with all the training and information you need to start a chapter in your area.
What lawmakers does CCL Nevada meet with?
CCL’s mission is focused on advancing effective climate solutions at the federal level, so your local chapter meets with Nevada’s representatives and senators in the U.S. Congress.
What are the top climate issues in Nevada?
Nevada has been experiencing severe drought that is reducing rain and snow (precipitation). The lack of precipitation has led to water shortages, especially along the Colorado River. Not only is this threatening water supplies for humans and the natural world, it is also endangering hydro electric power generation, reducing agricultural productivity, and increasing the risk of wildfires. Nevada is also the home to the two fastest warming cities in the US, Reno and Las Vegas.
