Now more than ever before, mayors and local leaders must be at the forefront of moving America towards a
more just and equitable country for all people.
As the Trump Administration withdraws the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement, and continues
to slash vital air, water and human rights protections, mayors and local leaders are leading our nation
towards a healthier, stronger future by committing to 100% clean, renewable energy for all.
That's why we're calling on all mayors-- regardless of political party, from big cities and small towns —to
support a vision of 100% clean and renewable energy in their cities, towns, and communities, and across the
country.
Ask your mayor to pledge their support for 100% clean and renewable energy for all!
Transitioning to 100% clean and renewable energy-- like energy efficiency, wind, solar and electrified
transportation --will protect our kids and families from pollution, create new jobs and local economic
opportunities, and ensure that all people have the access to affordable energy solutions.
Now is the time for action. It is up to mayors to respond to this moment by doubling down on local efforts and
signaling their support for clean energy and healthy communities nationwide.
