As Congress deliberates on an infrastructure framework and the annual budget for 2022, it's critical for policymakers to understand the climate disaster of leaving rural communities behind in their plans to transition energy utilities to clean and renewable power.

The Rural Power Coalition has been leading the effort to win the level of federal funding that is necessary to assure rural communities with ownership stakes in electric cooperatives have a path to an equitable and just energy transition.

This Town Hall Meeting was recorded on July 13th, 2021, and features personal stories told by rural electric co-op member-owners and timely policy updates from the Rural Power Coalition.
