To SLO Mayor and City Council,
I am writing to voice my support for the Clean Energy Choice Program for New Buildings. I
encourage you to vote yes tonight on this important step forward. Despite the misleading tactics
of fossil fuel industry front groups, local support for this program is high.
I am discouraged that people have used the racial justice movement to discredit the value of this
program. America's systemic racism goes far beyond this issue of climate change, but we know
that the systems of power that destroy the environment are also those that exploit vulnerable
communities’ livelihoods, health, education and opportunities. A program that creates more
affordability and a healthier planet is a service to all of us.
Please vote to support this program tonight.
Thank you for your time,
Courtney Haile
