Dear John,

Thanks to supporters like you, 2022 has been a year to remember at Fresh Energy. We celebrated our 30th Anniversary of advocacy and policy change alongside 22 significant accomplishments that are already driving carbon reductions in Minnesota, the Midwest, and beyond. Together, we made change happen.

But at this time of unprecedented progress and historic federal investments in climate action, Fresh Energy must push harder than ever to forge a clean energy future that benefits all—and we need your support.

John, we are living in what is being called the “decisive decade”—the actions we take between now and 2030 to tackle the global climate crisis will determine our future. 

Will you make a gift to Fresh Energy to ensure that together, we will continue drive ambitious policy change to move the needle on climate change in this decisive decade?

• Ensure Minnesota does not miss out on the unprecedented, long-term funding opportunities in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which tentatively allocates about $7.3 billion for Minnesota. 
• Take on the toughest sectors of our economy to decarbonize by launching a new Industry department to focus on regulation, policy, and market transformation that will speed greenhouse gas emissions reductions in Minnesota’s bedrock industrial and agricultural sectors. 
• Advance nonpartisan, equity-focused policies at the Minnesota Legislature to ensure that our communities, residents, businesses, and industries all thrive as we transition to a carbon-free future.
