WNN members North Carolina Housing Table and Texans for Housing are advancing pro-housing, pro-climate land use reforms in their deep-red state legislatures. By building unique, bipartisan, strange bedfellow coalitions around these reforms, they have a clear opportunity to achieve climate-friendly reforms where other environmental policies are dead on arrival. These policies would shift housing growth toward existing, walkable, transit-connected communities, reducing per capita emissions and fighting suburban sprawl. Through community organizing, coalition-building, and direct advocacy, the NC Housing Table and Texans for Housing are overcoming the power of NIMBYism and achieving groundbreaking pro-climate progress in unlikely places.

Facing a severe natural gas shortfall, Alaska is making immediate decisions on LNG import contracts for the next 30 years. A lack of institutional leadership and predatory delay from Alaska's public utilities and state agencies have created the current crisis. While LNG imports are a necessary bridge as renewables are built, they are not a long-term solution. AK PIRG staunchly opposes expensive, long-term LNG obligations and is working extensively at the Regulatory Commission of Alaska to keep the lights on in the short term and protect consumers from being locked into LNG and rising market prices in the long term.

Renewable Energy Alaska Project is Alaska’s leading clean energy education and advocacy group. REAP is currently pushing legislation that would require the state’s four largest utilities to diversify their generation portfolio away from a heavy reliance on natural gas. Those utilities are now preparing to import extremely expensive LNG, as local gas supplies begin to run short. Working with its statewide coalition, REAP is advocating for a renewable portfolio standard (RPS) requiring that 55% of the electricity on the state’s largest electric grid come from renewable sources by 2035, a transition that would save consumers over $1 billion by 2040.

SWEEP works to achieve a healthy, equitable, and low carbon future in the Southwest United States. A priority campaign for the organization in 2025 is securing a fully decarbonized electric grid in Colorado as quickly as possible. Locking in statute a “100% clean energy by 2040” policy for all Colorado utilities would establish a much-needed beachhead of climate leadership in the Interior West, pushing back against federal headwinds and generating momentum for the state’s next governor in 2026. To overcome utility opposition and ensure success, SWEEP needs additional resources for advocacy and paid communications.

Pennsylvania United is a membership organization in Western PA that has played an important role in supporting the election of the Mayor of Pittsburgh, the Allegheny County Executive, and progressive federal candidates, all based on a shared vision of climate, jobs, and justice. PA United is part of a broad coalition focused on implementing the Inflation Reduction Act by decarbonizing large buildings. This project will expand PA United’s efforts to include canvassing 20,000 doors with scripts educating voters about the benefits the IRA is delivering to their communities while directing individuals interested in accessing federal financial benefits to the WorkMoney resource center.

The Student PIRGs are a national network of student-run non-profits that have recruited, trained, and mobilized college and university students to win on public interest issues since 1971. The organization helped pass the first GHG reduction bills in the 2000s, won commitments for 100% renewable energy at the campus, city, and state level accomplished with a Boards of Directors made up entirely of current college students. This spring, the Student PIRGs aim to leverage their year-round infrastructure on campuses in Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia to educate young people about how their network and families can save money and save the environment through new programs and tax incentives created by the Inflation Reduction Act. StudentPIRGs IRA education program triages interested parties to WorkMoney's resource center to streamline each individuals enrollment process.
