Take Action: Faith Communities for 100% Clean Energy
The 100% Campaign is bringing Minnesotans together who believe we need an equitable clean energy future for everyone in our state. MNIPL is proud to be among dozens of community organizations, unions, and advocacy groups pushing for 100% clean energy in Minnesota. In this 2019 legislative session, we expect more than one 100% clean energy bill will be introduced. Let’s show our legislators that Minnesotans are committed to 100% clean, equitable energy.
ACTION STEPS
1. Attend Clean Energy Action Day
Wednesday, March 13th | 8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Christ on Capitol Hill, 105 University Ave W, St Paul, MN
Engage in opportunities throughout the day to learn, share, meet with legislators and let them know you want action on clean energy and climate change now. Participate in action stations, interfaith worship, and a rally in the Capitol Rotunda to share your voice.
2. Sign and distribute petitions in support of climate goals.
Engage your community to sign onto the 100% Campaign petition to let our elected officials know this is a priority for all Minnesotans.
