Climate action and clean energy means creating an environment where all people can thrive.
When we think of our environment, we think of people’s homes – this could mean urban streets, rural farms, or anything in between. With a focus on climate justice, our work is based in community. We work with organizations, community leaders, elected officials, activists and voters to bring the following goals to life:
Build authentic relationships with people impacted by climate change and ensure policy solutions benefit them.
Help local communities pass and begin implementing clean energy policies.
Ensure that the Wisconsin Congressional Delegation does its part to pass bold and equitable climate legislation.
Ensure climate action policies at the state level have a focus on environmental and racial justice.
Work with elected climate champions at all levels of government to build the narrative for clean energy and climate action, and give them opportunities to advance their climate agendas.
Nearly 8 in 10 Wisconsinites believe in climate change, and 6 in 10 believe we must do everything we can to avoid the worst impacts.

The future of clean energy is happening right now. Climate change is already affecting our everyday lives in Wisconsin from flooding to reduced corn harvests to poor air quality, but clean energy offers huge opportunities for a healthier place to live, equitable jobs, and economic growth.
President Biden’s Clean Energy Plan is helping build back a climate-focused economy by creating middle class jobs that improve our state’s infrastructure. At the same time, local governments around the state are passing 100 percent clean energy resolutions thanks to community organizations and activists who are leading the work.
