Days before Christmas Trump derailed 5 offshore wind projects, putting jobs and our clean energy future at risk. Offshore wind creates American jobs, lowers energy costs, and builds a strong future. Join us Friday in pushing back and saying Yes to Jobs & Yes to Wind.

At a time when New England families are already facing high energy bills, this move shows that Trump is increasingly out of touch with what Americans want and need: reliable, affordable power.

Did you know that New England is one of the fastest warming regions in the world? We've experienced more than 4.5°F warming between 1900 and 2024. How do we get our snowy winters to stay? For one, we need to stop burning fossil fuels.

It is unfortunate that the parts about @climateactionri.org and our #YestoWind campaign did not make the cut. /1

The Rhode Island Energy Facility Siting Board just unanimously approved the wind farm’s application for a key cable laying. After years of permitting, this is a major milestone for the project. Thank you to everyone who said #yestowind and our clean energy future!
