March for a Clean Energy Revolution


The nation's spotlight will shine on Philadelphia during the Democratic National Convention. Now more than ever, it is imperative that our political leaders take swift action to keep the vast majority of fossil fuels in the ground including oil and gas from fracking and other extreme extraction methods. They must commit to swiftly attaining a full and just transition to renewable energy.

Some Democrats have rightly acted in supporting a transition away from fracking and dirty energy. A few have even become leaders in the movement. But many Democrats, including President Obama, continue to pursue and enact policies that deepen our nation's investment and dependence on fossil fuel extraction and consumption and contribute to climate change. Renewable energy and efficiency are the clean energy solutions we need to combat climate change and create millions of new jobs that will strengthen our economy. With the eyes of the world on Philadelphia, now is the time for us to come together as a united national movement to demand a Clean Energy Revolution!
