Getting Our Fair Share from the American Rescue Plan 2024Most 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 . |
Climate & Environment Advocacy Day 3/15 Come to the State Capitol in Hartford to advocate for strong and meaningful legislation to protect our environment and keep Connecticut's climate promise! At this event you will hear from speakers about bills before the legislature on topics including climate, clean energy, pollution reduction, toxics, and waste reduction. We'll have materials available for you to share with your legislators following the program. Once you have signed up, please reach out to your own legislators, invite them to the program, and ask to meet with them after the program ends at 10:30 am.
