"This week in Richmond for Conservation Lobby Day, we’re leading meetings with much of the NoVa delegation. We’ve also had 50+ people send emails to their legislators, urging them to support legislation creating the EV Rural Infrastructure Fund (HB 324) just over the last few days” — Bryan Scrafford

Tu Bishvat is the Jewish ‘New Year of the Trees,’ a celebration of trees and our relationship with the land.
We are so grateful to celebrate this holiday with our friends at @templerodefshalom.bsky.social, welcomed by Rabbi Jeffrey Saxe, Rabbi Alexandra Stein, and their wonderful community.
Take action: contact your legislators and ask them to support HB 324.

Access to public EV charging should not depend on your ZIP code. As electric vehicles become more common, many rural and low-income communities remain without reliable charging infrastructure. HB 324 helps close that gap and expand access across Virginia.

Students from six FCPS high schools are already involved, alongside partners including Mothers Out Front, Virginia Clinicians for Climate Action, and Citizens’ Climate Lobby Fairfax, with the goal of building community support to move school solar projects forward.

Add your voice by urging Superintendent Michelle Reid and School Board members to build on this progress and move faster to install solar on as many school roofs as possible while the opportunity still exists.

However, current plans cover only a small fraction of FCPS’ 199 schools and centers, and the window to act is closing as the commercial solar tax credit phases out.
