California faces severe climate impacts and risks falling behind on its climate targets while withstanding federal challenges. Cap-and-trade’s contribution is unique—no other policy delivers cheaper reductions, generates revenue, and drives innovation. But cap-and-trade isn’t a blunt tool running on autopilot; it has dozens of features that need thoughtful stewardship. We do not have time for wrong answers to fundamentally economic questions like how cap-and-trade can meet aggressive targets, protect consumers from price increases, and decarbonize industry. Economists are often disconnected from policy, leaving crucial insights untapped to society’s detriment. CapCA provides an unparalleled strategic platform for economic expertise to inform policy, address people’s needs, and meet climate goals.

Clean Energy for America (CE4A) and CE4A Action are organizations that are dedicated to the clean energy workforce. They engage and catalyze their base for advocacy and elections, hold elected and appointed officials accountable at all levels, and amplify stories from workers. They are committed to ensuring the success of the clean energy transition. In 2024, CE4A will continue to support narrative building work in key states by telling the stories of clean energy workers, engaging decision makers through projects in their districts, and strengthening the durability of federal investments like the IRA, BIL, CHIPs Act, and other key programs. CE4A Action, their federal hybrid PAC, will grow support for clean energy champions through targeted programs in key geographies to ensure that clean energy is a winning issue.

California is at a crossroads in the climate fight. As a clean energy pioneer, the state made history in 2012 by launching its cap-and-trade program. With the program set to expire in 2030, the oil industry is doing everything it can to weaken the reauthorization progress. Meanwhile, frontline communities continue to bear the brunt of pollution and climate-driven disasters. As the legislature works to extend the program through 2045, environmental justice advocates are mobilizing to ensure that equity, not industry influence, shapes California’s clean energy future. Funds raised will support additional resources for a communications campaign led by environmental justice advocates.

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.

Semilla Action is leading the Clear Horizons Campaign where we have an opportunity to make tremendous progress for climate action by passing the Clear Horizons Act (Senate Bill 4), the Community Benefits Fund Act (Senate Bills 48 & 49), and the Innovations in Government Act (Senate Bill 83). These bills take an intersectional approach to not only codifying emissions reductions targets into state law through the Clear Horizons Act, but simultaneously pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into communities for just transition and clean energy projects that will directly reduce emissions in the Community Benefits Fund.

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.

Evergreen Action was founded in 2020 with the goal of advancing bold - and actionable - policies to defeat the climate crisis and create millions of jobs in a just, thriving, and inclusive clean energy economy. The foundational Evergreen Action Plan was formed out of Washington Governor Jay Inslee’s 2020 presidential bid and his gold standard climate platform. In three years, Evergreen has made a demonstrative impact, shaping Biden’s first term agenda by helping pass, defend, and implement the Inflation Reduction Act. Join the presentation for a briefing on the Evergreen 2025 Action Plan which articulates what winning climate policy should be for Biden and other candidates.

Land & Liberty, part of the Clean Grid Alliance, boasts a highly experienced team with a two-decade track record of effectively navigating utility-scale siting conflicts across several states, including Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Their renewable energy siting efforts are distinctly concentrated on the more conservative, rural regions within these states, acknowledging that these areas hold the greatest technical potential for renewable energy projects while concurrently harboring the lowest levels of public support for the fundamental reasons behind transitioning to carbon-free sources of electricity.

Greenlight America is focused on leveraging local grassroots support with the goal of winning local clean energy siting and permitting fights. The U.S. needs to build 6,000 clean energy facilities over the next decade, almost 2 per day, as well as more than 10,000 miles of transmission lines to hit emission reduction goals. Local opposition is the biggest obstacle to these projects, and there are few coordinated efforts to engage supporters as advocates for these projects. Greenlight is building a scalable, nationwide clean energy campaign hub to work with partner organizations, engage and mobilize local residents, and win project approvals.
