POW’s mission is to lead the outdoor movement for climate action. We are organizing the Outdoor State to be the most powerful voice for climate in the U.S. Building on our national momentum, we are rolling out a local engagement strategy anchored by a new clean energy campaign designed to activate all levels of the POW community and accelerate decarbonization across the country. POW is committed to breaking local development logjams by educating communities and organizing targeted, on-the-ground advocacy campaigns that drive specific clean energy projects forward. We are shifting the cultural, societal and structural norms to ensure prioritization of local clean energy development.

Greenlight America

$71,200 Raised | $14,400 Match Remaining

Greenlight is mobilizing grassroots power to win local clean energy fights where projects are most at risk of being blocked. With our Clean Energy Mobilization Hub, we equip supporters to show up in permitting battles, ensuring solar, wind, and storage get built on time to meet the urgent climate window. Partnering with Protect Our Winters (POW), we’re expanding campaigns in the Mountain West—especially Colorado and Nevada—through joint phonebanking and organizing, advancing projects with more than 600MW potential. Together, we’re making sure clean energy doesn’t lose by forfeit and building durable climate wins in critical geographies.
