Right now, hundreds are taking to Albany for our final legislative day of action. But if you couldn't make it, don't worry--you can still help build a green economy here in New York!
First, help AGREE grow our team by hiring a new EnergySmart Volunteer Coordinator! They'll be helping us reach diverse communities throughout Central New York with information about energy- and cost-saving programs, clean energy opportunities, and workforce development.
The more our team grows, the more funding we need to keep up! So we're aiming to raise $5000 by the end of July. Can you help us?

But wait. Did reading about this job make you go "that sounds like something I would do"? Then head over to our site to learn more, and apply!

And finally, we have a great but narrow window to win funding for New York's solar workforce this year. Help back up everyone who's in Albany right now by calling Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie using this script!
Call NY Assembly Speaker Heastie Today to Urge Him to Support New York's Solar Workforce
Phone Number: 518-455-3791
- Hello, my name is ______, I live/work in _______, New York. [If you are a solar worker, please say what company you work for and what you do]
- I'm calling today to urge the Speaker to support rooftop and community solar by passing the Accelerate Solar for Affordable Power (ASAP) Act this legislative session. A.8758
- Clean energy is under attack in Washington, DC. If the federal government eliminates support for solar energy, it will result in thousands of layoffs in New York's solar industry.
- New York needs to step up and stand with the nearly 16,000 workers in our local solar industry.
- I'm urging Speaker Heastie to prioritize and pass the Accelerate Solar for Affordable Power (ASAP) Act this legislative session.
- The ASAP Act will lower electricity bills for New York families and businesses and protect solar jobs by continuing our successful rooftop and community solar program and lowering costs through utility interconnection reforms.
- Can I give you the bill number? It is A.8758
- I hope we can count on your support. Thank you for your time and for passing along my message
