GWRCCC Giving Tuesday & Holiday Party

Register Today for the GWRCCC Giving Tuesday Event & Holiday Party on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, from 6pm to 8pm at 899 North Capitol Street, NE, Washington, DC. Contact Jade Bynum or me about donating food or sponsorship opportunities. This event is an annual fundraiser for GWRCCC. 

Advocacy Updates

Next year is going to be very important in terms of advocating for policies that support the environment, clean energy and transportation. Reducing air pollution and its negative impact on the health of local residents will continue to be a priority of GWRCCC. In January, GWRCCC will host a webinar on legislative and public policy priorities. Additionally, GWRCCC will be on Capitol Hill with the Transportation Energy Partners and other Clean Cities Coalitions from across the county on February 10-11, 2026. On a regional level, GWRCCC is advocating for a Low Carbon Fuel Standard in the State of Maryland that would be like a law in the State of California that would accelerate the transition to low to zero emission vehicles.  

Sincerely,

Antoine M. Thompson
