Define Our Decade
As our elected leaders struggle to make progress on climate and energy legislation in Washington, a grassroots movement has grown and won real victories in our local communities. Through youth leadership, thousands of colleges and universities have taken steps to transition their campuses to clean energy, grassroots campaigns have blocked new dirty energy infrastructure, and the green economy is being built in cities around the country.
We can’t let the “political realities” of corporate-influenced policies define our future. It’s time for us to set our own course, on our own terms and Define Our Decade.
The Plan
In 2010, through a set of strategically coordinated local actions, we will Define Our Decade. We will define it with youth leadership, community empowerment, and a unified vision for the clean and just energy future we will collectively create.
Contact EJCC’s Coordinator, Kari Fulton for more information about how to get your community and/or campus involved on a local, statewide and national level.
