Get Involved

 

We are delighted you made it to this page as the Local Clean Energy needs the help of individuals and organizations that want to forward clean renewable energy generation in the Bay Area.

We need volunteers to help work on various aspects of our Local Clean Energy campaign.

GET INVOLVED IN PRIORITY CAMPAIGNS!

Conference participants agreed to form Working Groups to network and coordinate efforts around key issue areas. They need your involvement! So contact any of these leads:

Fight the PG&E Power Grab
Contacts: Woody Hastings <whastings@earthlink.net> and Larry Chang <lc_arch@yahoo.com>

This working Group is in the process of building a strong Bay Area Coalition and simultaneously bootstrapping the Bay Area Coalition to a statewide presence. The GoogleGroup is the place where you can be involved in that effort, learn about upcoming events and actions, and where you can post your ideas and info about what's going on in your neck of the woods.  It is also where you can find out about our weekly conference calls. 

The working groups has four subcommittees: Organizing/outreach, media, web/social networking, and legal.

You can visit and join the GoogleGroup at http://groups.google.com/group/powergrab?hl=en 

As always with these kinds of group lists, you can manage your preferences and un-subscribe at any time.

Or to join, send an email with your name and affiliation to Dave Room at dave@baylocalize.org.
