Clean Energy States Alliance Inc. (c3)

Organization Description
Clean Energy States Alliance is a national, nonprofit coalition of state energy agencies working since 2002 to develop and implement effective clean energy policies and programs. CESA helps states expand the use of clean energy to address climate change, advance equity, and strengthen local economies. Much of CESA’s work takes place behind the scenes, strategically informing, guiding, and assisting state energy agencies. CESA identifies and promotes innovative policies and provides opportunities for state officials to discuss their ideas, plans, and concerns in confidential settings. Foundation support enables CESA to reach beyond its member states to provide guidance to all states.
2026 Programs

Strategic planning with CESA’s state members produced an ambitious plan. CESA will: 

  • Work with states to use strategic messaging to counter attacks on the affordability and reliability of renewable energy; 
  • Help states preserve their clean energy standards and goals;
  • Provide structured support to enable states to use VPPs to deliver grid reliability, emissions reductions, and consumer benefits;
  • Help states with terminated EPA Solar for All awards still bring solar benefits to disadvantaged communities;
  • Prompt states to promote innovative technologies (e.g., battery storage, geothermal networks, plug-in solar, building solutions) that can thrive in the current environment.
2025 Programs
As the tide pulled away from renewable energy in Washington, CESA ensured that the momentum for state clean energy development continued. CESA’s "Federal Energy News" newsletter remained a valuable resource for documenting the unprecedented clawback of federal funding, while CESA staff convened states—often on an emergency basis—to provide news and program details. CESA took over hosting meetings for states that had previously been hosted by federal agencies and offered robust technical assistance. Active programs and working groups for states focused on low-income solar, offshore wind, energy equity, energy storage policy, community solar, and energy affordability.

The People's WhistleBlower Campaign (Group)

Organization Description
A 2026 public grassroots signature campaign calling out corruption and wrongdoing by the US President and Executive Branch, and Congress for failing to do their Constitutional duty as an equal branch and a guardrail. We use the construct of a Whistleblower complaint to formalize and address the wrongdoing that, unchecked, has evident public harm. The key advantages of this approach are: 1) Formal: over two dozen Citations. 2) “Served" to every member of Congress, not just three from my zip code. 3) Dynamic: add new wrongdoing - don’t start over again. 4) Chenoweth-level signature possibility: sustained, cumulative, inclusive.
2026 Programs
We need funds to make our website operational to capture massive signers and to link with other major grassroots orgs, such as No Kings, Indivisible, Common Cause, Third Act to achieve Chenoweth-level signature participation. With a six or seven-digit signature participation, we will “serve” each member of Congress with this People’s Complaint. Requires funding for: Licensing of signature management software, Document servicing to Congress, Social media marketing, Licensing artwork for a downloadable social media badge, Liaison with Congress, Support via anonymized participation reports for 2026 federal candidates from their districts, Other organizational matters.
2025 Programs
This campaign is starting in 2026, and is expected to be needed into 2027, possibly beyond.
