Update on our Justice Work: May 2021

As we marked the 51st celebration of Earth Day last month, and as we move ever-closer to irreversible climate catastrophe that disproportionately impacts low-income and communities of color, Joy Bergey, the Director of our Environmental Justice Center, co-authored a piece in the Chestnut Hill Local about a bold initiative that would make a difference.

To learn more about the 30 Million Solar Homes Stimulus Package, see https://www.30millionsolarhomes.org. As Joy and co-author Henry McKay write, “Senator Casey and Representatives Evans and Deans are strong supporters of clean energy, including solar, and we thank them for that. Senator Toomey? Not so much. We need all of Pennsylvania’s elected officials to be strong supporters of solar energy policies. Now is the time to act. Call your members of Congress and let them know we need more support for solar power to get our country on the right track and give our kids – all of them – a just and clean future.”
