We were named in April, but today, on the two year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act being signed into law as the biggest climate investment in history, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officially awarded our Power Forward Communities coalition a $2 billion National Clean Investment Fund grant alongside our coalition members Habitat for Humanity International, Enterprise Community Partners, Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), and United Way. As part of this coalition working on single-family homes and apartments, especially in low-income and disadvantaged communities, Rewiring America will be announcing local community partnerships in the coming months. We're excited to have these resources to help shape the market, draw in private investment to this work, and for families, help make going electric easier! Read the press release here:

I enjoyed talking about the critical role that states play in leading the nation on clean energy with Leah Stokes and Katharine K. Wilkinson on their A Matter of Degrees podcast. It was especially fun to unpack the national leadership demonstrated by Minnesota the last couple of years and the impact that sustained support for grassroots organizing and coalition building can have on long-term policy change. If you're wondering what it looks like to build a movement for change, look no further than the Land of 10,000 Lakes. ⚡ A good reminder that progress can and must continue in states no matter what happens at the federal level. #cleanenergy #midwest #stateleadership

“One thing that is underlying the work we’re doing is recognizing that we need electrification solutions in our own communities. It was unfortunate that the energy development that was happening was impacting our communities but not fully benefiting [them] in the way our community members wanted.” That’s Suzanne Singer, cofounder and executive director of Native Renewables Inc, a nonprofit that offers free solar power systems to eligible households on Hopi and Navajo reservations. Their work is about power, both literally and figuratively. Rooftop by rooftop, they’re bringing free electricity to Indigenous communities where 13,000 households don’t have any at all. And they’re giving these communities a chance to “thrive and determine their own destinies” through the jobs, investments, and infrastructure created by the Inflation Reduction Act. This is important, because too often, Indigenous communities’ access to utilities and opportunity has been an afterthought, all while their lands become the sites for clean energy projects that benefit others. But organizations like Native Renewables are changing that. Hiring Indigenous employees, factoring in their lived experiences, and educating their communities are crucial steps in building trust — and building a more equitable, resilient future.
