This week:

Please enjoy this hopeful ditty on how we have finally harnessed the sun ☀️ — and how we’re just getting started.

Here's What You Can Do:

  • Donate to Grid Alternatives to advocate for community-powered solar policy that gets everyone on a clean energy grid (🌎 go global: Donate to GiveDirectly so people have the agency to buy their own solar)
  • Volunteer to become a member of the Green Workers Alliance to help ensure the creation and maintenance of well-paying, sustainable green jobs in the clean energy transition.
  • Buy solar for your homecompanyschool district, and/or your town with help from our best friends at Rewiring America.
  • 🌏️ Get educated about where your power is coming from with electricityMap.
  • Be heard about continuing to expand solar access and ask your representative to support clean energy progress.
