4worldlovers: Climate change compounds the struggles of trans and queer people worldwide. In this month’s Pride GRID Talks, we lean on our three LGBTQ+ environmental expert panelists to look within the climate crisis and answer the question, why is queer liberation an environmental justice issue? And how can renewable energy be a part of the solution?

GRID Alternatives envisions a rapid, equitable transition to a world powered by renewable energy that benefits everyone. Our mission is to build community-powered solutions to advance economic and environmental justice through renewable energy.

We call for a resilient and sustainable clean energy system, where solar power and battery storage can help individuals, families, and communities access energy in the aftermath of these storms, and every day in between.

Bank of America Empowers Communities with Solar Power: A Recap of Two Impactful Workdays

Bank of America, one of the world’s leading financial institutions, is actively committed to making a positive impact in communities across the country. Through its partnership with GRID Alternatives, a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding solar access to underserved communities, Bank of America recently participated in two workdays in National City, CA and San Jose, CA. These events not only brought renewable energy to deserving families but also made significant contributions to carbon offset, client savings, and the environment.

The GRID Alternatives Multi-Family Commercial Team participated in the Housing California Conference on March 27-28, 2023 at the Town Country Convention Center in San Diego, California. This year’s theme is Housing’s Next Chapter. As we enter the third year of a global pandemic, we have witnessed a historic response from both state and federal leadership and impactful shifts in resources and funding which urge us to think about how to carve a path towards housing justice that is intersectional, equitable, and urgent.

A visit from the White House National Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi, with GRID and Habitat for Humanity San Francisco

This year, we witnessed unprecedented federal, state and utility investments in transportation electrification and equity. This means that implementers, the people and agencies responsible for using these funds, are working to ensure that implementation and program design drive substantial, measurable benefits to individuals and families that need them the most. But what does it really mean to go beyond "checking the box" for equity? And how will new investment dollars, allocated to implement equitable clean mobility programs, drive measurable benefits for income-qualified households?
