GRID Alternatives

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! https://fb.watch/3BjBtKxxOi/ #BlackHistory2021

TBT! GRID Alternatives proves hands-on experience for students through its Solar Futures program. https://gridalternatives.org//workforce-deve/solar-futures

Join us in building the world we want: a just society, where clean energy powers our homes and our work, providing substantial savings; where folks are building great career opportunities in a thriving green economy, and where renewable energy policies are adopted nationwide to heal our planet. #GivingTuesday https://bit.ly/3mnSe1L

Now more than ever, it's important to look boldly at the reality of race and gender bias -- and understand how the two can combine to create even more harm. https://youtu.be/akOe5-UsQ2o #BlackHistoryMonth2021 #Equality #PeoplePlanetEmployment #Women #EqualRights #greenenergy

A #cleanenergy transition that is just and equitable isn't only the RIGHT thing to do, it's also the BEST way to ensure popular support for the changes that need to happen to address #climatechange. https://bit.ly/3cTzplm

If we prioritize equity in solar policy, we can build a just energy system that gives all communities the opportunity to participate. Read about proven policies that promote equitable access to solar energy @GRID @VoteSolar [Lowincomesolar.org] https://www.lowincomesolar.org/

Here's to a bright, solar-filled 2021!
