Today at the White House! Over 50 selected faith leaders from across the US gathered for a convening on Climate, Clean Energy and Environmental Justice. 🏛⚡ Alongside California Interfaith Power & Light and Jacquelyn Badejo (she, her), RE-volv was grateful for the opportunity to share stories of how Direct Pay can benefit communities today. 👏 The presentation centered on Watts-Willowbrook Church of Christ’s solar journey, and how they will function as a resiliency hub for the Compton, Watts, and Willowbrook communities – providing AC during heatwaves and air filtration during poor air quality days. Jacquelyn Badejo, environmental activist and representative from the congregation shared that, “The community is becoming more familiar with solar. I would say that the Watts-Willowbrook Church of Christ going solar is a ray of hope, showcasing what is possible to other congregations and residents in the community.” The Watts-Willowbrook Church of Christ solar project was a part of the broader BIPOC Houses of Worship Initiative, aiming to accelerate the deployment of solar energy for BIPOC-led faith-based organizations. This initiative is a partnership between Interfaith Power & Light, RE-volv and Green The Church with support from National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Solar Energy Innovation Network.
