Third Act Pennsylvania Action Teams

Join One or More of Third Act Pennsylvania’s Action Teams!

Climate Finance

The AFFF Team encourages everyone (especially elders) to put pressure on bad actors in the finance industry – especially Bank of America, Chase, Citibank, Wells Fargo and Vanguard – to stop investing in fossil fuels and move money into clean, green energy solutions instead. Divestment works!!!

Goals and Strategies:

  • Pressuring the big, dirty banks to stop financing fossil fuels through communications, protest, disruption, birddogging and others means

  • Leveraging the power of big corporate clients to pressure the dirty banks on climate

  • Moving our money to align our personal finances with our values through “Responsible Finance” approaches

  • Increasing investments in clean energy and healthy communities.

Pennsylvania AFFF is currently working on Costco/Citi Clean Up Your Credit Card and Move Your Money campaigns.  Contact us: thirdactpa@gmail.com.

Democratize Energy

The Democratize Energy Action Team is working to mobilize Third Act PA members to demand stronger action on climate in Pennsylvania.

We are focusing on the Public Utility Commission as well as state and federal energy policies.

Goals and Strategies:

  • Power Up Communities! mobilizing Third Act working groups and supporters to advocate and influence the powerful state-level Public Utility Commissions (PUCs) agencies to set strong energy policy at a state level

  • Educating Third Act supporters to implement the landmark federal Inflation Reduction Act at the state level and ensure the available funds are well-spent on clean energy, energy efficiency, and climate resilience solutions at the state and local level

  • Advocating for relevant state-level climate and energy legislation.

Democracy and Voting

Goals and Strategies:

  • Mobilizing for Pennsylvania local, state, and federal elections

  • Protecting and promoting the right to vote

  • Engaging in civic life beyond elections, including in local and state policy advocacy and collective action

  • Advancing “Third Acts” of community engagement, kindness, and mutual aid and practicing democratic principles of participation, consensus building, accountability, transparency, and human rights in our everyday lives.
