From Katharine Hayhoe:
If you are part of a faith community, consider joining a Sun Day event on Sept.19 to 21. That’s the weekend that GreenFaith US is helping mobilize people to raise their voices in support of solar and renewable energy.
“In a time when climate denial, corporate greed, and political inaction threaten our communities and future, we gather not in despair—but in prophetic defiance and faithful hope. As fossil fuel subsidies expand and protections for people and the planet are rolled back, we know this fight is bigger than any one of us. That’s why people of faith and spirit are coming together to shine a light that cannot be ignored,” the organizers write.
“Together, we’ll ground in faith, rise in courage, and build a path forward for climate justice. All are welcome to be part of this urgent, historic movement—because the stakes have never been higher, and the time to act is now.”
If you live in the US, you can click on this interactive map to find an event near you. Don’t live in the U.S.? There’s nothing stopping you from starting your own Sun Day in your community using these same principles and organizing materials! Here’s a toolkit that explains more. (And if you do organize one, please input the information into this form so GreenFaith can add it to the map.)
Watch Sun Day’s campaign launch recording here to learn more about the vision and how to host your own event in your community.

From Grow Solar La Crosse:
The sun is setting on our 2025 program!
Fall is at the doorstep, and both the summer season and the 2025 Grow Solar La Crosse program are coming to an end. The deadline to sign up for our cost-saving solar group buy program is September 30!
If you've been on the fence about going solar, now is the time learn the basics, get your questions answered and sign up for a free site assessment with one of our installers. While the window to schedule an installation by the end of the year to claim the federal tax credit has passed, participants will still receive the below-market group buy pricing and participation rebates!
With tariffs causing price uncertainty and electricity prices set to rise in the coming years, solar remains an excellent investment. Don't let this opportunity for lower-cost solar pass you by!
Register for our final virtual Power Hour on Sept. 17 at 1 p.m. online to hear about the program and the continuing value of solar as an investment. Attend live or receive the recording to watch on your own.
Community-Led Program
Grow Solar programs are administered by nonprofit organizations and municipalities, which means that we rely heavily on word-of-mouth and grassroots promotion. We find that solar-educated consumers are the best messengers for sharing the benefits of solar with their families, friends, coworkers and neighbors.
So if you've attended a Power Hour, gone solar in this or previous programs or are just an advocate for renewable energy, please consider sharing this program! One recommendation can make a big difference.
