We know Elders are powerful catalysts for change. In 2025, Third Act Education Fund is working to re-ignite hope in climate solutions and bring more Americans into our campaigns to ensure everyone can have access to clean power. This includes:

• Crucial work to organize and educate our supporters into effective, joyous Working Groups—Third Act communities across the country that receive training, tools and support in taking meaningful collective action in their towns, cities, and states.
• A nationwide campaign to influence local Public Utility Commissions to strengthen clean energy policies and remove local regulatory barriers slowing down a just transition. 

Organizing the first SunDay on September 21, 2025—a national day of distributed action where we’ll educate our communities and neighbors about solar power, and celebrate the power of the sun to transition us off fossil fuels.
