On Giving Tuesday (and through the end of the year), we ask supporters like you to help fund the fight for a sustainable future. 

Please help power us into next year with a donation today.

Our small but mighty organization has a big impact. Here are a few of our recent accomplishments:  

• Together with allies, we won concessions from every major upstate gas utility to either decrease gas sales or keep gas sales flat. These rate case victories set the stage for the future of utility compliance with New York’s climate laws!
   
• We helped over 150 homes and businesses go green in Central New York! Since its inception, the HeatSmart CNY campaign has helped community members lower their carbon footprint by either replacing the heating system with a ground source or air source heat pump, switching the water heater to a heat pump water heater, or installing insulation and air sealing measures. Sixty-two of our participants are low-to-moderate income households.
   
• Last week, we helped negotiate an agreement from Exelon Corporation, the owner of the four Upstate NY nuclear reactors, to shave 40 years off their decommissioning timelines for these reactors, provide an additional $15 million in decommissioning funds, and include several other public interest protections.

Please help us continue our work with a donation today. We need to raise $5,000 by the end of 2021. 
 
As an added incentive, a generous donor will match all new donations up to $2,500. If you've never donated to AGREE, please consider giving this year to help us tap that matching fund. And, if you've donated in the past (❤️ thank you), you can help us get those matching funds by giving more than your most recent donation. If you’re unsure about your donation history, please reach out to us. We are happy to look it up. 

For a just transition to a renewable, democratic energy future, we need everybody’s participation to win back our power from a broken system. We look forward to strengthening our bonds in 2022 to continue building a more powerful climate movement. 

In gratitude,

Jessica, Andra, Lindsay, Avni, Amber, and Alison

P.S. We have a Facebook fundraiser for folks who prefer the Facebook platform. We hope you will donate and consider sharing AGREE’s fundraiser with your friends.
