Billions of federal dollars from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) are becoming available at the state and local level for projects that will help transition us to a clean energy economy, creating 9 million jobs and reducing carbon emissions by 40% by 2030. Let's bring that funding to Pennsylvania communities! Sign up today!

- Activate Pennsylvanians across the state, along with Sierra Club members and supporters, to bring resources from the IRA/IIJA to their communities.
- Simultaneously advance state programs compatible with IRA/IIJA programs and funding.
- Focus on bringing funds to schools and implementing the Home Energy Rebates Program.
