In a moment when so many of us feel anxious, angry, and scared about the outcome of the federal election, it’s never been more important to strengthen our local networks. That’s what we’re all about at the Boston Climate Action Network. Just this year…

• We’ve scaled a program with frontline community partners, like Mutual Aid Eastie and Reclaim Roxbury, to cut energy bills and keep homes warm.
• We’ve scored real victories to make the utility companies pick up more of the bill on home energy efficiency repairs–so you don’t have to.
• We’ve successfully called on our legislators to pass a state climate law that accelerates our transition to clean heat without costs spiking up.

In a national context that increasingly threatens our rights, it has never been more important that those most affected are front and center fighting for their needs. We’ve got much more to do, starting with:

• Connecting every resident with services to bring down energy bills and keep homes warm in the winter.
• Banning predatory energy corporations from preying on our residents and jacking up our bills.
• Making sure every bus runs on time with the benches and bus shelters we need while we’re waiting.
• Building new large buildings smarter from the start to clean up our air, with the passage of a Net Zero Carbon Zoning Code.
• Training an army of new climate advocates to make all of this happen.

Can you make a donation to support our efforts protecting residents from high energy bills?

• $50 helps us to provide food for an energy justice educational event, helping draw out critical community members
• $100 helps us compensate a community member for their time and expertise at an advocacy event
• $200 helps us to turn out our members in matching t-shirts and demand action from the Legislature
• $1000 helps us train volunteers….

Over the past 24 years, we’ve made a lot of progress in reducing energy bills, expanding renewable energy, improving air quality, and holding our biggest institutions accountable. Today, there is more to do with greater urgency. We need you in this fight with us.

With love and gratitude,

The Board of the Boston Climate Action Network
