Dear Friends,

We have the following virtual events on tap for you in the coming weeks. They are free and open to all. Invite friends and colleagues – the more the merrier.

Friday, April 1^st 1pm ET – Energy Department’s Jigar Shah on our Clean Energy Future – Please join us for a discussion with Jigar Shah, Director of the Loans Program Office of the Department of Energy. The Loan Programs office is on the front lines of financing tech innovation here critical to accelerating the energy revolution the US and the world so desperately needs. To date, the Loan Programs Office has issued more than $35 billion of loans and loan guarantees for more 30 projects and has a proven track record including transforming existing energy infrastructure, reviving nuclear construction, accelerating growth of utility-scale solar and wind, expanding domestic manufacturing of electric vehicles, and improving the lives of all Americans by catalyzing new energy technology and creating jobs.

Learn more about Jigar here.

Friday, April 8^th 1230pm –With Democrats Things Get Better – Join us for our monthly showing of our signature presentation, With Democrats Things Get Better. It’s a 30-minute data filled journey through American politics since the Cold War ended and a new political age began. And what the data shows, not surprisingly, is that during this period when Democrats were in power the US had strong, sustained job and GDP growth, booming stock markets, rising incomes and wages; and when Republicans have come to power, we’ve had 3 consecutive recessions, two very severe, and debilitating deficits. The fundamental contrast between Democratic growth and progress versus GOP recession and decline that emerges from the presentation is very stark, and critical to understanding where we are in American politics today. You can sign up for the 1230 pm ET Zoom-based presentation here.

To prep for the presentation, you can learn more about the big arguments behind With Dems here and check out our recent work on selling the Biden Boom here. Perhaps the most remarkable stat from the deck – of the 43 million jobs created in the US since 1989, 41 million – 95% - have been created with Democrats in the White House.

Tue, April 19^th 1pm ET – Tomicah Tilleman on Web3 – Join us for what promises to be a lively and fascinating deep dive on Web3 with Tomicah Tilleman, who is emerging as a critical early thought leader in this promising new area. We will be talking about bitcoin for Ukraine, the President’s new executive order and much much more. Don’t miss this one! RSVP here.
