Help Energy Allies and Springfield Climate Justice Coalition fight back against this dangerous and unnecessary proposed gas expansion project by either testifying at the public hearing on December 14th, or by sending a written comment to the EFSB by January 17th (or both!) on this new gas infrastructure which would only intensify the climate emergency!
This Congressional Briefing brings critical community knowledge, leadership and specific energy democracy solutions to the numerous climate and clean energy legislative proposals being advanced. The Mountain Association, Indigenous Goddess Gang and the Local Clean Energy Alliance provide opening remarks followed by a panel of community, labor and legal advocates, practitioners and scholars.
Join the campaign against the Peabody peaker, a dirty and unnecessary fracked-gas plant planned to be constructed in an environmental justice community in MA. Sign on to Breathe Clean North Shore’s petition urging the Healey administration to protect our communities and our future!
Gas is dangerous, polluting and expensive. We envision a just and rapid transition away from gas to a future of clean heat powered by clean electricity to meet our climate and environmental justice goals. Sign-on to Springfield Climate Justice Coalition’s petition to ask Governor Maura Healey to halt all new gas system expansions - there’s no future for gas in Mass!
The Energy Democracy Project has launched its REFOCUS campaign to break-up the monopoly power of big utility companies and restore the power of communities to govern, share, and use energy! Check out their new website, sign-up for updates, and sign-on to their Puerto Rico Quick Response Solidarity Program.
Energy Allies and GreenRoots Chelsea are calling all environmental and climate allies to join us for a call to action! Let’s direct emails to Governor-Elect Maura Healey so she halts construction of the substation and brings Eversource and Massport to the table to find a more suitable location for this infrastructure. Please send this script and add personal touches especially on why you support the #NoEastieSubstation campaign!
The Fairmount Corridor (through Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan, and Hyde Park) deserves clean and healthy air, efficient and reliable rail service, and climate justice in our neighborhoods. Fairmount Indigo CDC's bill would also bring state-wide opportunities by serving as a pilot for the electrification of the entire MBTA commuter rail system, immediately reducing the Commonwealth’s air pollution levels, and bringing Massachusetts closer to its climate goals. Contact your legislators today!
The Zero Carbon Renovation Fund (ZCRF) would allocate $300 million for zero-carbon renovations in existing buildings like affordable housing, public schools, and environmental justice communities. This legislation will take critical steps to equitably reduce emissions, improve climate resiliency, lower energy costs, and improve the overall health for communities most in need. Please contact your state senator and representative to urge them to co-sponsor the Massachusetts Climate Action Network's Fund today!
To combat the climate emergency, we need to transition to a renewable, just energy future now. Mega-polluting utilities like the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) are blocking climate action and actively planning to increase fossil fuel energy generation. Its new board can immediately stop this and implement a plan for a 100% clean and just energy future. Join the Center for Biological Diversity in urging TVA to deliver for communities and our climate by charting a path to 100% clean energy by taking action today!
When record-breaking hurricanes hit Puerto Rico, millions of families lose electricity, clean water, and internet — and many lose their homes. At the root of this crisis is a centralized, fossil fuel utility system that's highly vulnerable to storm damage. But instead of investing in resilient, rational solutions like rooftop and community solar, the Federal Emergency Management Agency is spending billions on reconstructing the old, failing system. Join the Center for Biological Diversity in urging FEMA to fix this destructive cycle of injustice — not feed it — by bringing distributed renewable energy to Puerto Rico.
The switch to energy-efficient technology over the past few decades has kept energy consumption in the U.S. at the same levels as in 2000, despite
Every year, approximately 114,678 thousand megawatt-hours of electricity are generated from utility-scale solar panels in the United States. That’s 2.2% of the United States’ annual
We provide free education through resources, curriculums and events to mobilize climate-impacted communities to participate in the movement to revolutionize the energy system.
