Clean energy

We work to end harmful fossil fuel practices, shift to clean, 21st-century energy sources, and stand up to monopoly utility practices that put profits over people.

Environmental protection

We leverage grassroots organizing, community engagement, policy advocacy and technical expertise to protect the land, air and water of Central and Southern Appalachia.

Healthy communities

We envision an Appalachia with healthy ecosystems and resilient local economies that allow communities to thrive.

Tell Congress: We want safe & healthy communities!

Rural and Appalachian communities have successfully used federal funding to adopt clean energy and energy efficiency projects, lowering costs and creating local jobs. However, President Trump paused spending on these programs. Some in Congress also seek to eliminate these job-creating initiatives in favor of tax breaks for corporations and billionaires. These locally-driven projects provide economic opportunities, reduce energy costs, and protect the region’s environment, but political uncertainty threatens to derail years of planning. Tell Congress to preserve these investments and secure a clean energy future for Appalachian communities!
