Issue: Clean Energy

Across the US, communities are organizing around IRA opportunities, mobilizing support for clean energy, and building durable power. And they’re learning a lot about what works well (and not so well)! This week, we’re excited to share reflections and insights from our interviews with Autonomy Strategies (with Conexión and Voto Latino), Local First Arizona, Sustainable Georgia Futures, and Wisconsin Conservation Voters. Hat tip to our partner 89up for their work on this!

We are excited to share the second monthly report from the IRA Data & Insights Hub*, your one-stop shop for Inflation Reduction Act communications guidance. The Hub synthesizes data and research from many of you to deliver actionable insights on IRA advocacy, and is a project of the Climate Advocacy Lab, in partnership with impact agency 89up.

In this session we’ll review what the Hub is, dive into the data, break out into peer learning groups, and talk about our Name Generator.

Over the past 20 years working in the climate movement, I’ve been part of both countless campaigns to secure a “transformational win” and countless attempts to support better sharing of data, testing, and other advocacy lessons learned. Today, the Lab is thrilled to launch a new IRA Data & Insights Hub in partnership with impact agency 89up, which collects and synthesizes IRA campaign data, translating the results into actionable insights to inform advocacy and communication strategies. A huge thank you to the 23 organizations (and counting) who have generously contributed their testing results to the Hub!
