LWVAC is launching a "What You Can Do" (WYCD) campaign where we share a series of action plans. Being an activist has a broad range of engagement. These WYCD messages are intended to make being an activist easy. Ten minute activism. You can do it. Organizers do the research and work. We serve it to you in bite sized pieces. The important thing is that we don't just let the injustices and robbery of our democracy go unanswered. To be complacent is to be complicit. We will not be complicit. Read more about this campaign here.
To receive the What You Can Do actions directly, please email info [at] lwv-alachua.org (subject: What%20You%20Can%20Do) with "What You Can Do" in the subject line. Request to be added to the email list. Messages come out about once a week.
CURRENT ACTION TOPICS: 1) TODAY: Tell Congress: Support Local Clean Energy and Jobs 2) Tell Congress: Protect Funding for Clean Fuel School Buses
1) Clean energy policy is under attack, NOW is the time to act: Tell your members of Congress to protect clean energy tax credits that lower energy costs for us all.
Right now, Congress is poised to axe some of our nation's most important climate and clean energy policies in their “one big bill,” passed by the House of Representatives on May 22. The bill would eliminate the tax credits that have been saving American households billions of dollars, fueling a national manufacturing boom, and increasing energy reliability. Please send an email to your members of Congress as soon as possible, asking them to protect our federal clean energy programs and incentives.
2) Tell Congress to keep the Clean School Bus Program in the budget package and demand the Trump administration release frozen clean school bus funds. Our kids deserve a clean ride to school. Complete the form below to submit an email to your own members of Congress. Continue Funding the Clean School Bus Program. Click on the link to send an email to your legislators in the US Congress.
