Tell Congress:
Protect Our Jobs
Clean energy has created hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs, boosted local economies, and lowered energy costs. But Republicans in Congress voted to slash those investments and put our clean energy future at risk.
Trump’s Energy Shortage Is Here
At a time when costs are too high and families are struggling to make ends meet, Republicans in Congress and Donald Trump are driving your electricity bills even higher.
With energy demand soaring from AI data centers, we can’t afford to pull energy production off the grid. But that’s exactly what their so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” is doing. It guts investments in wind and solar—the fastest-growing, cheapest sources of power—just to fund more tax breaks for the ultra-rich. Now, Trump has told his Cabinet to attack clean energy production. The result? Lost manufacturing jobs, factory closings, and utility rate hikes across the country.
American-made clean energy can meet our energy demand and prevent electricity bills from spiraling out of control, but not under the hostile policies Trump and Congressional Republicans have pushed through.
Protect Our Jobs is a campaign to defend the livelihoods of clean energy workers and local economies across the country. We call on Congress to protect clean energy jobs in our communities, invest in America’s clean energy future, and power American families for generations to come.

Our Leadership
We are a campaign of clean energy workers, business leaders, and other advocates dedicated to protecting clean energy jobs. We are calling out Congress for slashing clean energy investments in our communities, because we know that repealing them pulls the rug out from under growing American businesses and countless workers—and will raise energy and utility costs for Americans already struggling with rising prices across the board.
