See what you have helped accomplish so far this year.? ? ? ? This is incredible progress, friend.Thanks to the hard work of the Clean Energy for All campaign and activists like you, 2019 has been one of the most impactful periods of climate action in our nation's history.
From prioritizing climate justice and joining the U.S. Climate Alliance to electrifying transportation and advancing renewable energy, governors and state legislators across the country have listened to their constituents to make climate action a top priority.
To meaningfully act on the climate crisis and create family-sustaining jobs in the clean energy economy, we need bold solutions that put our communities first ? especially communities of color and low-income communities who disproportionately bear the brunt of climate impacts.
Here are just a few of the Clean Energy For All wins so far this year: 1 in 4 people in the U.S. now live in a place that has committed to 100% clean energy Eight governors joined the U.S. Climate Alliance, a coalition of 24 bipartisan governors committed to the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. They are: Tony Evers (WI), Michelle Lujan Grisham (NM), Janet Mills (ME), J.B. Pritzker (IL), Steve Sisolak (NV), Gretchen Whitmer (MI), Tom Wolf (PA), and Steve Bullock (MT). Because of the Clean Buses for Healthy Ni?os campaign, more students will ride clean electric school buses thanks to advancements at the state and local level in Arizona, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, and New York. Eleven states in the Conservation Voter Movement have enacted major Clean Energy For All priorities: Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Maryland, Maine, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, Nevada, South Carolina, and Washington. Seven states passed major climate change legislation with bipartisan support: Maryland, Maine, New Mexico, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, and South Carolina. So how did we get here? Last year, we launched Clean Energy For All, a nationwide, grassroots campaign with the goal of a just transition to 100% clean energy ? paving the way for healthier, more sustainable communities and ending our reliance on dirty fossil fuels. All across the country, LCV and our state partners are working with school boards, state legislators, governors, members of Congress, and other local leaders to make even more progress to build a cleaner and more equitable clean energy future for us all. The amazing progress made by governors and state legislatures this year shows us that together we're already making our clean energy future a reality.
It's up to us to make sure this progress continues. Will you chip in today to help us build more pollution free communities across the country? [link removed]
