Now more than ever as we experience climate impacts, it is clear we need to accelerate the transition to 100% clean and efficient energy in the region and beyond.\u00a0We need solutions like 100% clean electricity for our grid, cleaner fuels and electrification to power our transportation, and clean and energy savvy buildings where we work and live. With your help, we can accelerate the transition to a clean energy future.<\/p>\n<p>For years, influential political figures, business and\u00a0environmental leaders, activists and philanthropists, have come together for our spring fundraising events like our Climate Solutions\u00a0Annual Breakfast. With the current COVID-19 pandemic and the direction from our health professionals and elected leaders following the science, we are no longer\u00a0 holding in-person events this spring.<\/p>\n<p>While we are extremely disappointed to miss seeing many of you in person for now,\u00a0<strong>we have pivoted to launching Solutions Together,<\/strong>\u00a0a\u00a0multi-week fundraising campaign this May\u00a0with many opportunities for folks to contribute and to help accelerate the path to a 100% clean energy future. You can donate personally, and you can also become a fundraising leader by creating a personal fundraising page and inviting others to come together too.
