Climate Justice Discussion February 19 – 11 to noon

Identifying Environmental Justice Components of the new IRA legislation: Please join us on Sunday, February 19th during the second hour (11 to Noon) in the Judson sanctuary for a discussion led by Jo Olson, Senior Director for Communications and Engagement at Fresh Energy.  She will “unpack” for us, the potential environmental impacts of the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The Act includes practical provisions that offer tax credits for new and used electric cars, more efficient home appliances, and building energy-saving upgrades while also addressing Environmental Justice concerns for BIPOC and other disadvantaged communities.  Many of the Act’s grants and incentives require matching funds from state and local units of government so one of Fresh Energy’s largest priorities is to ensure that Minnesota does not miss out on the unprecedented long-term funding opportunities in the Inflation Reduction Act.  We need to let our elected leaders know that these programs are important for the viability of our communities and for the environment/climate.
