White people: we have work to do in 2024!

Virtual

Feeling your heart rate rise over the chaos of 2024 already? Don’t face the fear and dread alone! One of the surest ways to cut through the anxiety of these times is taking action together in community: join SURJ members in conversation about our plans for 2024 to stop authoritarianism, defend the election, and go on offense in 2025 to advance an agenda of racial and economic justice. White people have an important role to play this year. If far right authoritarianism takes the White House and Congress in 2024, it will be because of the support of a largely white base. We have a responsibility to make sure other white people reject far right calls for division and instead see their fates as tied up with other working people. Our POC partners are getting their people in formation, and we need to do our part. SURJ is the largest organization in the country explicitly organizing white people for justice– and we’ve got a plan to win this year and beyond. Join us to learn more.

Passive House and Building Performance in the Age of Electric Vehicles

Virtual +1 more

Have you been thinking about getting an electric car (EV) AND modifying your home to all-electric? If so, you may have also wondered if your home or even your neighborhood’s electric grid can handle the additional load. After all, EVs create a tremendous impact on your electrical consumption. Our speaker this month, Enrico Bonilauri of Emu, will review a study that evaluates several building standards for their capacities to meet your complete electrification goals. It turns out that some building standards allow a homeowner to shrink their consumption sufficiently to accommodate the additional load of an EV without expanding overall consumption.
