Hi friends!
The nonprofit that I work for, the Sustainable Economies Law Center is a people-powered organization, sustained by generous and dedicated supporters in the community. I'm writing to ask you to take a minute to help SELC win $20,000 by casting your VOTE for us! I know, I know, I think these online voting schemes are really annoying, too, but we think we have a really good chance of winning this one and the publicity doesn't benefit any evil corporation, but rather, a really awesome local solar power company, Sungevity, which we are happy to promote through this campaign (my parents have been happy customers for years).
When you vote, please also opt into the secondary step of "boosting" your vote which basically means you add on 10 extra votes. It requires that you provide a physical address.
Four Quick Steps:
- Click VOTE (http://www.sungevity.org/gives-back)
- Include your email and zip code
- Select Sustainable Economies Law Center from the list of organizations and submit your vote!
Don't Forget to BOOST YOUR VOTE BY 10 EXTRA POINTS:
- Anyone: sign up for OurSungevity after you vote--it's EASY and FREE! OurSungevity is a online platform that allows you to spread solar in your community through different media (if you choose). You can even earn $500 if you refer Sungevity a new client.
- Homeowners: sign up for an iQuote to get solar on your home.
Vote on!
What will SELC do with this $20,000?
SELC believes communities shouldn’t BUY power. We should OWN power! We’ll create model policies and legal structures for community-owned renewable energy. This includes viable replicable models, essential legal documents, and model policies for community- and cooperatively-owned renewable energy projects. We have some amazing volunteers and staff putting some extra time into creating this program currently, but we're looking to hire a dedicated attorney to really build up this program.
Who is funding this Competition?
Here at SELC, we're conscious of where we get our funding. Sungevity is an innovative solar company focused on creating the world’s most energized network of customers who power their lives with sunshine.
