East Bay Community Energy’s Local Development Business Plan is the Green New Deal for the East Bay. While our National leaders are scrambling to get a policy together, we have the opportunity to build energy solutions that center justice at home, in the East Bay.
On Monday, April 1 at 7pm (details tbd by EBCE), East Bay Community Energy’s Community Advisory Committee (CAC) will be having a special study session on the Early Actions for Local Development. Join us at this study session to speak to the Community Advisory Committee about our priorities.
You might recall that Local Clean Energy Alliance hosted two in-depth workshops in 2018. In July, we created curriculum on the Local Development Business Plan and in November we created and presented curriculum on the Early Actions for Local Development highlighted in the business plan. The format at the Community Advisory Committee will not be like ours, but much of the material might be familiar. This will be both an opportunity to review the material and advocate for the pieces that most benefit our most vulnerable communities, including:
Energy Efficiency
Community Innovation Grant
Community Net Energy Metering
Community Shared Solar
Now is the time to show the rest of the country what a green new deal looks like — how it can be done, who is at the table, and who sees the benefits – . But it will take your voices and your advocacy to make it happen for real.
Will you join us on April 1?
