Local Clean Energy Alliance of the Bay Area

We need you to testify to the East Bay Community Energy board on June 19 to demand a budget increase for the Local Development Business Plan programs and projects for 2019-2020!  We know you are busy, but together, we have been holding down this campaign for years.
