Virginia, like the nation, is at a critical juncture. The economy is declining and the climate is warming with potentially catastrophic consequences. Right now, Virginia has an enormous opportunity to secure a clean energy future that will reinvigorate the economy and curb emissions of harmful greenhouse gases.
Will you join us in seizing this enormous opportunity?
We know we can count on you to speak up in order to save our mountains, address climate change, protect consumers and build a clean energy economy, we need to talk to our decision makers. Meeting with your legislator is one of the best ways to make your voice heard. Join us as we take our message of a clean energy economy to the Virginia legislature. Together we’ve come so far and we will not secure a clean energy future for Virginia without your help!
What is the Tour about?
The Wise Energy for Virginia Coalition is launching the Wise Energy Tour to meet with engaged citizens across Virginia. We aim to help equip them with the tools they need to address their elected officials about clean energy and how Virginia can work towards a clean energy economy. We will be on the Tour from September to November reaching out to all areas in Virginia.
Join us for a stop on the tour to:
* Learn the current state of VA’s energy policy and what we can do to ensure a clean energy future
*Celebrate how far we’ve come (more than 43,000 people like you have added their voice to the Mile Long Petition)
*Become confident in communicating and building relationships with our elected officials
*Join in the community of citizens who are working to make this clean energy future for VA a reality
