Driving on Sunshine – Charge for Change

August 21, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm

The time for Clean Energy investment is now. We are at a crossroads where we must have massive investment in our climate coupled with divestment from fossil fuels.

This event highlights the need for clean energy transportation solutions through the following:

  • an EV car show
  • constituent meetings with elected officials
  • networking with leading small businesses, non profits, and community leaders on local solutions and clean energy manufacturing jobs
  • Green Jobs discussion
  • Electric Vehicle 101
  • Letter to the Editor Training
  • and more!
