Defend the Virginia Clean Economy Act and Invest in a Just, Green Future

Target: Governor Glenn Youngkin and the Virginia General Assembly

Goal: Protect the Virginia Clean Economy Act, invest surplus funds in renewable energy, and ensure a fair, sustainable future for all Virginians.

Governor Youngkin has called for the dismantling of the Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA), threatening progress on clean energy, climate action, and good jobs for Virginians. As the state enjoys a budget surplus, now is the time to double down on investments in clean energy, not roll them back.

Governor Glenn Youngkin's recent address to the General Assembly touted Virginia's strong finances and a $1.7 billion budget surplus. Yet, instead of using this opportunity to invest in our communities and a clean, just future, he is calling for the dismantling of the Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA) and a return to fossil fuels.

The VCEA is a vital step in reducing pollution, creating good-paying union jobs, and protecting Virginians from the worst impacts of climate change. Rolling back this progress would harm working families, increase energy costs in the long run, and set Virginia back in the race for clean energy leadership.

We call on Governor Youngkin and the General Assembly to protect the VCEA, invest in renewable energy, and prioritize climate justice for all communities—urban and rural, Black, brown, and white. Virginia must lead the way in building a sustainable, equitable economy that works for everyone.
