Hi folks, 

With the cold weather persisting, let’s think about the warmth and power of the sun for a bit. Tomorrow at 6pm Third Act is holding a training about a batch of smaller scale bills we’re supporting. You’ve heard about these from Jack, Jessi, and the Advocacy team. This session can be a kind of primer to help us deepen our understanding and thereby our advocacy. Jump on if you can! Details below. 

Stay warm, y’all. 

Wendy and Jeff

◉ Upcoming Event

Jeff—

Don’t forget to join the Third Act team and Bill McKibben tomorrow at 3pm PT / 6pm ET for this special Simplify Solar training. Learning about local solar laws in New York is the first step toward advancing clean energy everywhere. Register for the event here!

Below is the email we sent you last week:

Jeff, 

We don’t have to sit around waiting for a future when the federal government is no longer captivated by fossil fuel cronies. When towns streamline local rules and cut red tape, we all win with cheaper, faster, easier solar on our roofs, balconies and backyards, countering the setbacks imposed by Trump and Congress. 

Our Simplify Solar campaign will make it simple for solar to go everywhere—but we need Third Actors to participate for the campaign to win. Join us at this special event on Tuesday, February 3 and we’ll teach you how to learn the solar rules in your town, and then how to plan a meeting with municipal staff. 

Simplify Solar: Expanded Campaign Kickoff & Training

February 3, 2026 — 3pm PT/ 6pm ET

Join Bill McKibben and the Third Act team to discover how to take action in the next phase of this campaign. In this training we’ll help you understand how new tools like SolarAPP+ save towns and homeowners money while speeding up rooftop solar. We’ll equip you to book a constituent meeting or attend a town council meeting where you can tell your story while educating decision-makers. And we’ll showcase the comprehensive toolkit you’ll use to act and to report progress, so we can collectively show how our grassroots actions together transform this country and take power out of the hands of fossil-fueled autocrats.

RSVP for Feb. 3

Let us—and the sun—be your guide.

See you there,

Third Act
