Help Virginia students fight for their future
Since spring we’ve been working on a Future Power campaign with members of the Virginia Student Environmental Coalition, an organization of university students working to activate youth for action on climate justice.
Right now, they have a campaign plan, they have passion, and they have a dream of 100% renewable energy for Virginia. But they need your support to move forward.
Here’s a message from Laura and Rabib, who are crowdfunding their work with us as Future Power Fellows this summer:
This past school year, Virginia students have taken valuable time from their studies to organize for climate justice. We've achieved such feats as a 300-student strategic conference, a courageous 21-day sit-in for divestment, and a 333 mile bike ride against the dirty, gas-carrying Atlantic Coast Pipeline.
Despite this incredible progress, we risk losing momentum that we’ve gained during summer break. U.S. Climate Plan has teamed up with VSEC to empower the youth voice and provide us with the tools to keep up the heat through the summer.
We need your help. Please consider donating to the Future Power Virginia Fellowship so that we can continue to push for a more sustainable Virginia.

We’re beyond excited to be working with Laura and Rabib this summer as they push back against Dominion Power's outsized political influence in their state to demand a clean energy future.
Watch here to learn more about the Future Power Virginia work you can support today.
Dominion donated to every single politician currently in Virginia’s legislature. That’s powerful. We think young people’s voices and stories can be even more powerful. If you agree, we hope you'll donate to the Future Power Virginia Fellowship today.
P.S. Please share the news!
