On Aug. 1, UNITE-LA was pleased to co-host a Regional Energy Policy Convening, in partnership with CA FWD, focused on the opportunities, barriers and resources needed to make energy independence and reliability a reality.

UNITE-LA was invited to support as a result of the LA Regional Cleantech Career Academy (formerly known as Avantus Cleantech Career Academy), and as such, we were able to feature our partners who support our work, including Avantus, LACI, Big Energy Group, H2U, SoCal Edison and Los Angeles Regional Consortium of Community Colleges. Input gathered from these sessions will inform statewide policy advocacy, building on CA FWD's Energy Call to Action and Infrastructure Acceleration Report, which provide a framework for how stakeholders can break through silos and work across sectors to advance energy solutions.
