Give to the Max Day has officially started in Minnesota, and we’re inviting you to celebrate Minnesota’s giving holiday by making a gift to Fresh Energy from now until Thursday, November 21! Right now, your gift will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $10,000 when you donate at GiveMN.org.
Your support is more important than ever before. Minnesota has made major strides in climate action over the past few years, and we cannot afford to stop now. We are deeply committed to a clean energy future. Now, more than ever, we need your help to get there. Can we count on you to help?
Thanks to you and our community of supporters, Fresh Energy’s recent policy work has made transformative progress: We helped pass Minnesota’s 100% clean electricity law, a landmark clean lighting bill to phase out inefficient and toxic fluorescent bulbs, as well as ambitious targets to reduce energy use in both commercial and residential buildings by 80% and 70% by 2036 and 2038, respectively.
Our climate policy success isn’t limited to electricity, buildings, and transportation: We’re proud to be expanding our focus toward Minnesota’s agriculture and heavy industry sectors to begin the challenging work of lowering emissions from hard-to-decarbonize industries.
The 2020s are being called the “decisive decade,” because the actions we take between now and 2030 will have an inordinately large impact on our future climate. We don’t need to tell you how high the stakes are: 2024 set more records for extreme weather, and science tells us we must reduce carbon emissions by 50 percent in the next five years to avoid the worst effects of climate change.
Fresh Energy is ready to navigate our new political landscape with thoughtful courage and unrelenting determination to defend the progress we have made and continue to take on climate change by advancing new policies. But we can’t do this important work without you.
Now, more than ever, Minnesota needs strong climate leadership.
Your support is critical to ensure we can act now to tackle the climate crisis. We don’t have any time to waste.
Please make a Give to the Max Day contribution to Fresh Energy today. Together, we will build a thriving Minnesota that works for everyone.
