IPL-DMV director Joelle Novey spoke Tuesday at a rally outside DC’s PSC to demand they stop Washington Gas’ dangerous Project Pipes plan. We say NO to more gas infrastructure that harms our communities and our right to breathe clean air!

Today we joined Rev. Dell Hinton and partners from the Clean Heat Coalition to call on @govwesmoore.bsky.social to finalize strong Clean Heat Rules. We all deserve to breathe clean air at home, and it’s time to replace polluting fuel-burning furnaces w/efficient heat pumps. marylandcleanheat.org

On Earth Day, our Director Joelle closed a multi-faith gathering on Capitol Hill with this song by Sarina Partridge:
"But don't you hear them too, the voices cutting through the despair saying: 'We need you there, in the belly of the beast, singing, singing, singing– through times such as these."
