While the federal climate policy landscape remains bleak, over 50 cities have committed to 100% clean energy goals, on top of 180 mayors who have endorsed 100% policies, with new campaigns continuing to be rolled out. And this is pushing utilities’ adoption of renewables. Today we report on new Lab-supported work from Climate Access that provides in-depth lessons from the “Ready for 100” initiatives (joint campaigns between the Sierra Club and local partners across the country). This research includes a case study of the Ready for 100 programs, take-aways from efforts in six cities*, and a webinar* featuring the Pueblo, CO, and Atlanta campaigns. You can also check out a previous Lab alert about how to communicate a clean energy vision*.

Online to offline movement of activists occurs with only a small fraction of online activists, but does represent a significant share (35%) of those who do become offline activists. Donors are more likely than non-donors to become regular offline activists. These are among numerous insights from a webinar that presented findings from an analysis of merged member data from seven environmental organizations and over 12 million records of members, activists, and donors. Kate Duch has prepared far more analyses than she had time to present, so you can take a look at the full “Multi-organization member engagement” project deck, too.
