The Jewish Earth Alliance and the PA- Interfaith Power and Light are hosting two informative advocacy events to educate you on renewable, clean energy and to motivate you to write letters to your Senators and Representative in Washington DC. All are welcome to attend!
August 25 at 7:00 pm
If you care about averting the worst effects of climate change it is essential that you raise your voice and let decision makers especially your elected policy makers know how you feel and how you want them to act.
One of the best ways that you can raise your voice is to let your elected officials know that you care about environmental issues is to write personal letters. Yet for many people letter writing can be intimidating. Therefore, you are invited to attend an interactive session where you can learn to easily write these letters: You will also write your letter during this session.
Topic: How to write effective letters to elected officials
Speakers: Phyllis Blumberg, Advocate, PA wide organizer for Jewish Earth Alliance and
Seth P. Sacks, or Ryan Adams who are both Field Directors for Climate Action PA, for the League of Conservation Voters
This session will walk you through how to write letters to your elected officials to express your views on actions that need to be taken. We will answer all your questions and talk about how to tell your own personal story that will have impact and meaning for your readers.

The US still gets 60% of its electricity from fossil fuels. Electrical generation is a major source of carbon emissions, second only to transportation. To avert the worst effects of climate change we need to use 100% clean renewable energy such as from solar or wind. A federal Clean Energy Standards Clean Energy Standards (CES) would mandate progress toward the use of renewables for the entire country which would be a tremendous step toward eliminating the greenhouse gas emissions causing climate change.
Democrats are aiming to pass a budget under the rules of reconciliation, offering another opportunity to remediate the climate crisis. Their proposed $3.5 trillion budget includes CES, and other climate solutions such as electric car incentives, energy efficient buildings. Members of Congress need to hear our call for comprehensive CES that accelerates the transition to renewable energy, with justice for communities harmed by fossil fuel.
