Hi John,

The recent Supreme Court ruling on West Virginia v. EPA prevents the
Environmental Protection Agency from limiting carbon dioxide emissions
from power plants — emissions that threaten public health and worsen
climate change. The decision makes us question if we really can count on
the courts to protect our communities and the environment from harmful
pollutants.

However, we don’t need the Supreme Court to create green jobs, increase
energy independence, and find common ground on climate. We can still
achieve major wins for our communities and the planet by coming together
to find common-sense solutions at the state and local level. 

Now — more than ever — we need to invest in bottom-up bipartisanship.
State and local decision-makers can pass policies that serve the unique
needs of their communities, centering their voices to advance equitable
climate solutions. Both the approach to policy making and the policies
themselves should set the standard for what collaborative climate
leadership looks like on the federal level. 

This is more than just a theory. We’ve been actively working in states
across the U.S. to bring Republicans and Democrats to find common ground:

* Saving rooftop solar in Florida: When the Florida state legislature
[ [link removed] ]passed a bill that would effectively kill rooftop solar, we
mobilized Floridians across party lines to call on Governor Ron
DeSantis to veto the bill. It worked. And [ [link removed] ]both progressives and
conservatives were critical to this success.  
* Bringing state legislators together on climate: The [ [link removed] ]Southern
Regional Environmental Legislators Conference created space for state
and local leaders from across the region and political spectrum to
find common ground solutions to environmental problems. Legislators
took lessons learned back to their home states to advance equitable,
bipartisan climate policy that places communities at the center.
* Lifting up community voices: The [ [link removed] ]Nevada Clean Energy Equity
Workshop brought together environmental advocates, climate experts,
and community members to collaboratively discuss what an inclusive
green economy looks like for Nevada.

While we are proud of these recent wins, we know that advancing climate
policy just got harder, not easier. We will continue to fight for a world
that is green for all, not green for some. But we can’t do it without
you.  

How can you be a part of the solution right now? 

* [ [link removed] ]Tell your elected officials to support common ground solutions in
your state.
* [ [link removed] ]Brush up on your advocacy knowledge and discover ways to influence
policy.
* Explore new opportunities in the clean energy sector and [ [link removed] ]apply for
the Green For All Clean Energy Scholarship 

Together, we can and we will build a brighter future.
