Toolkit - Stronger Together: A Guide to Neighborhood Organizing — We Build Progress
001
We Build Progress @webuildprogress.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Just like we’ve brought food to a neighbor in mourning or helped an elderly neighbor shovel their walkway, we can help protect each other by joining together and organizing at the neighborhood level. This toolkit is designed to provide some first steps, tips, and tools to help you get started.

4 years ago, federal law helped make clean energy projects like the Minneapolis Friends Meeting and RE-volv’s solar arrays possible. Their story continues to drive our mission to build the Livable Future our communities deserve, despite federal govt. cuts. bit.ly/friendsolar

4 Years After the IRA, Solar and Clean Energy Still Light the Way!
4 years ago, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) became law and helped make clean energy projects like Minneapolis Friends Meeting’s and RE-volv’s solar arrays possible. One year ago, the Republican budget law slashed federal funds for clean energy while gutting healthcare and food assistance. We must keep fighting for community-led clean energy wins like these no matter what. Learn more about our work at webuildprogress.org/livable-futures Photo Credits: Roger Miller, Canva

6 takeaways from FERC’s data center interconnection decision
If RTOs fail to address large-load concerns identified by FERC, the agency will dictate the solutions, per FERC’s David LaCerte. “I say this not as a threat, but as a statement of duty,” he said.
