Volunteer with Energy Democracy Now! Co-operative
Power the movement, meet other folks in the community who care about a clean energy future, and be a part of an impact that is impossible to ignore.
We have lots of great opportunities to volunteer with Energy Democracy Now! coming up. Help us reach new folks at our next community event, find new connections in different parts of the province, or help keep your representative informed on energy issues.
Volunteer option descriptions:
Tabling: Tabling means serving as a friendly representative for Energy Democracy Now! Co-operative at upcoming community events. You’ll explain our mission, encourage people to sign up for our newsletter, and give out pamphlets and other materials. Tabling is low-stakes, and the person-to-person connections that we make help make the movement stronger than any online post ever could.
Contacting/Meeting with your MLA or Mayor: We want to make sure our representatives have responsible energy planning and climate action top of mind. Concerns coming directly from a constituent are the most effective way to get attention on important issues like climate and affordability. Energy Democracy Now! and our collaborators have been hard at work preparing plain-language documents and evidence on the importance of up-to-date energy legislation. Now it’s time to get it into the hands of decision-makers. You don’t need to be an expert to be taken seriously by your MLA. Explaining why you care about an issue can go a long way, and we can help ensure you are prepared to answer any questions comfortably.
