Civic Courage helps NGOs train their members to create champions in Congress and the media for their cause. Sam's first client was Citizens Climate Lobby (CCL). In 2019 CCL volunteers in the US and Canada had 4,305 letters to the editor, op-eds and editorials published (up from 65 in 2010), and had 1,700 meetings with members of Congress, Parliament or their staff (up from 106 in 2010). In episode 487 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Sam left Florida State University and returned to the University of Miami, why it's so important for you to share your own story and for others to share theirs, how you can create champions in Congress and in the media, how we can go back to compromise and collaboration in politics, how we can turn today's youth into engaged voters, how we work with the media for better PR, how we can build better relationships with elected officials, and how we can get transformational advocacy with commitments.
