OPERATION: EDUCATE Educate Congress

From April 6 – April 17, members of Congress return to their home districts for the Spring District Work Period. This is an ideal time for citizens to meet with their representatives to remind them about the issues that matter in their communities! As a coordinated effort, CLEAN would like to help citizens set up meetings in each and every district to let Congress know that their constituents demand a clean energy future!

Not an energy expert? Not a problem! CLEAN will help with every step of the way:

• Scheduling with your Congressperson’s district office

• preparing talking points

• conducting the meeting

• reporting back the results

OPERATION: CALL SEND A MESSAGE TO THE WHITE HOUSE ON JANUARY 21

On January 21, thousands of people from all walks of life are coming together to call the White House. On this call, we are going to ask President Obama to:

• Say YES to renewable energy.

• Say YES to energy efficiency.

• Say NO to coal and the industry's illusion of "clean coal technology"

• Say NO to costly and unsafe nuclear power

OPERATION: SIGN SIGN THE LETTER ABOUT INVESTING IN CLEAN ENERGY

CLEAN recently sent a letter to President-elect Obama to make him aware of the broad grassroots support from all over the country for bold action on clean energy. We made it clear that transitioning towards a clean energy economy will create thousands of jobs, while at the same time shifting the United States in the direction of a more sustainable, profitable, globally competitive country. In this letter, we ask for the following:

• $500 billion in investment to modernize our electricity grid and encourage renewable energy development

• tax credit incentives for homeowner efficiency measures

• a renewable electricity standard that aims for 100% electricity from renewables by 2050

...and several other important steps to move us toward a sustainable energy economy
