Climate Finance

Third Actors are retired. Your bank deposits, pension, or IRA may be producing more carbon than the average American does in 6 months! We don’t want our money used to bankroll the climate crisis.

Despite the climate crisis, our biggest banks are huge funders of coal and gas and oil companies. In the years since the Paris climate accords, they have given more than three trillion dollars in loans to these companies, even as scientists have told us we must stop the expansion of this industry.

Power Up Communities

Influence Public Utility Commissions to strengthen clean energy policies. At stake is the electric power that courses through our electric grids, as well as the political power that shapes our leaders’ decisions.

Third Act’s Power Up Communities! campaign is designed to hold Public Utility Commissions (PUCs), legislators, electric and gas utilities, and fossil fuel companies accountable.

Solar Is the Cheapest Form of Energy in the World. Fossil gas extraction is dirty and dangerous, harms frontline communities who are forced to live near fracking wells that harm our health, our environment and our climate.

Democracy and Voting

The right of all Americans to vote freely and easily-enshrined in the 1965 Voting Rights Act—is under siege. We can help pressure Washington D.C to create laws that will make it easy for everyone to play a robust role in our democracy. Take action to help us safeguard our democracy today!

Today, the right to vote is being suppressed and eroded in many states across the U.S. Amidst a cloud of hateful bigotry and lies about stolen elections, we are being led right to the edge of rebellion against democracy itself.

Politicians threatened by the shift toward a more Democratic electorate are reverting to the types of tools that limit access to political power –enacting restrictive voter ID laws that purge voter rolls, and blocking voting-by-mail during a global pandemic.
