This citywide open house will bring together all city departments to engage community members about a variety of plans and projects we're working on that benefit you, our community.
Since passing in August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has been a game changer for clean energy and energy efficiency. According to the Department of Treasury “More than 1.2 million American families have claimed over $6 billion in credits for residential clean energy investments – such as solar electricity generation, solar water heating, and battery storage, among other technologies – averaging $5 thousand per family. 2.3 million families have claimed more than $2 billion in credits for energy efficient home improvements – such as heat pumps, efficient air conditioners, insulation, windows, and doors – averaging $880 per family.” But what we've seen so far is only part of what is on the horizon. We’ll be joined by Owen Vogel of the Clean Energy Credit Union (CECU).
These are exciting times. Every month brings new innovations in solar efficiency, wind, chemical battery storage, smart grids, microgrids, building efficiency, and building electrification—many of which were described in CRES chapter programs. Each of these innovations will play an important role in mitigating climate change risk. However, technological innovation alone is not sufficient to transition us from a fossil fuel-based economy to a renewable and sustainable economy. If these new energy sources are to mature and replace fossil fuels, we also need to create market conditions that will support them in their new role in our economy.
Join the Climate Initiatives Department for an informative and interactive presentation about the city’s ongoing energy work and its impact. The event will feature presentations by city staff and opportunities for public participation, feedback and Q&A.
We’ll be joined by Tim Stelzer and Eli Asher of LineVision who will provide an overview of GETs, the capabilities they offer, their current state-of-play in the U.S., and highlight case studies of dynamic line rating (DLR) technology. They will wrap up with a discussion of how legislation and regulation can play a role in ensuring the technology is used cost-effectively.
Join SURJ in conversation with Heather McGhee, NYT best selling author of “The Sum of Us” and leading political thinker on race and the economy, to explore white people’s stake in fighting MAGA– and how we can take action to organize white people around their stake in fights for justice.
Celebrate the 50th anniversary of adopting the BVCP, and join us as we gear up for the latest update! Everyone is welcome, and we want to hear from you all – there will be activities for kids and adults, information about ways to get involved, and an interactive discussion with Motus Theater.
Tapping into the themes of his new book, “Life After Doom: Wisdom and Courage for a World Falling Apart”, Brian McLaren invites us to engage in the catastrophic failure of both political and religious leaders to address urgent realities of our time: ecological overshoot, economic injustice, and civilizational collapse. Come explore the complexity of hope, the necessity of grief, and discover new ways of thinking, becoming, and belonging for the common good.
Join us for a powerful evening of faith, community, and civic engagement.
With just a few days left until the most pivotal election in our lifetimes, many of us are asking: What’s going to happen? How long will it take to declare a winner? What are the most impactful things each of us can do to defend democracy and defeat Trump?
