by Aleta Payne, Former Deputy Executive Director

By Reuben Gelblum, NCIPL Intern

Thank you to everyone who helped make our Spring Into Action kickoff week a success! You all participated from all over the state, listening in to our webinar, sending messages to your representatives through our virtual advocacy campaign, and traveling in person to enjoy our Spring Into Action Celebration and participate in our inaugural Faith Voices for Clean Energy Advocacy Day. It’s been quite a week!
