Visions of a Resilient Kansas: Change is in the Air
2020-10-01 13:00 - 15:00 | Kansas
The Climate + Energy Project’s Annual Fundraiser and Awards Celebration

Tickets and Registration Now Open

2020 has been full of change, but good things are happening in Kansas. Thanks to climate and energy advocates like you, the movement to expand clean energy and drive climate action is growing every day.

The Climate + Energy Project and our supporters build resilience in Kansas through equitable clean energy solutions and climate action. While this engagement looks different this year, either through virtual meetings or 6 feet away with masks, CEP continues to bring Kansans together to ensure equitable access to everything from the energy that keeps us cool to the air we breathe.

Join your friends at the Climate + Energy Project to celebrate Kansans driving the changes we need to see to secure a healthy and resilient Kansas.

What is the change you most want to see in Kansas?

For 12 years, the Climate + Energy Project has advanced clean energy and energy efficiency in Kansas. Access to clean energy helps our economy, creates jobs, saves money, and also improves the health of our communities. As we see the impacts climate change has on public health, it’s increasingly important to elevate the benefits of clean energy on the health of Kansans.

Celebrate 100 years of women's right to vote!
2020-08-26 07:00 - 08:30 | Zoom Virtual Meeting
100 years ago was the first step towards full women’s suffrage. In 1920, White women won the right to vote. It wasn’t until the voting rights act of 1965 that women of color fully gained the right to vote. Transwomen and incarcerated women still face restricted access to voting. We celebrate the 19th amendment this year as the start of an equal voting rights movement. Join us for an online moderated panel with Kansas female elected officials! We’ll discuss obstacles to running for office, civic engagement, and dealing with the climate crisis. The bipartisan panel will take place online on Women’s Equality Day, Wednesday, Aug. 26th at 12 pm CT, and will consist of Senator Carolyn McGinn, Senator Dinah Sykes, Rep. Susan Ruiz.

We will also live to stream this event on the Climate and Energy Project’s Facebook Page.
