Wise Energy Tour: Coming to YOUR town!
WISE ENERGY TOUR
"Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability. It comes through the tireless efforts and persistent work of men willing to be co-workers with God, and without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation."--Martin Luther King, Jr. ("Letter from Birmingham City Jail," April 16, 1963)
Virginia, and indeed the nation, is at a critical juncture. The economy is declining and the climate is warming with potentially catastrophic consequences. Right now, Virginia has an enormous opportunity to secure a clean energy future that will reinvigorate the economy and curb emissions of harmful greenhouse gases.
Will you join us in utilizing this opportunity?
As citizens of the Commonwealth, we are needed to engage in direct conversation with policymakers to save our mountains, address climate change, protect consumers and build a clean energy economy. Legislative visits are one of the best ways to participate in our democracy and make your voice heard.
Join us for a stop on the tour to
- Learn the current state of VA's energy policy and what it needs to be to ensure a clean energy future
- Celebrate how far we have come (more than 43,000 people like you have added their voice to the Mile Long Petition)
- Become confident in communicating and building relationships with our elected officials
- Join in the community of citizens who are working to make this clean energy future a reality
Thanks so much for your help in crafting a healthy and prosperous future for Virginia. Looking forward to seeing you there!
