Getting Our Fair Share from the American Rescue Plan 2024
Most of us know that the American Rescue Plan, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act have allocated unprecedented funds for state and local governments and nonprofits to carry out critical work that is so often underfunded - or not supported at all.
What many of us don't know is that millions of dollars are still available. In addition to grants, these funds include "direct pay," providing reimbursement for clean energy projects that meet criteria. These projects prioritize equity, good jobs and clean energy. CCAG, and Ann Pratt and Kai Thompson of People's Action, hosted a lively session on how to find out what is still available, and how to go about accessing it.

Solutions are in reach!
As scientists and recent events make clear, the climate emergency is NOW.
CCAG , the Sierra Club and allies are calling on legislators to ramp up efficiency measures and keep Connecticut's climate promise. There is no time to lose in stopping the use and production of fossil fuels and transitioning to a clean energy economy. Fortunately, solutions are within reach. And while Connecticut has made some progress, much remains to be done. Download our new report and call to action here . |
Save the Date! May 5th
Renowned civil rights leader, Bishop William Barber II, will be speaking on 5/5/24 at 3pm at the Immanuel Congregational Church in Hartford. This is a free event there are no tickets but please let us know you're coming so we can plan. RSVP here: https://forms.gle/RfiCUjR88Xz6phwt8
This is an exciting opportunity for Immanuel, and we hope their sanctuary is filled to capacity to hear Bishop Barber’s powerful message of “Challenge and Hope.” Bishop Barber is a preacher, social activist, author and sought-after public speaker who became nationally known for his leadership with the Moral Monday movement in North Carolina. He has recently begun a new phase of his work as the founding director of the Center for Public Theology & Public Policy at Yale Divinity School. |
