Clean Energy Vision for Texas
We are the largest group of diverse organizations in Texas dedicated to taking action against climate change. We represent frontline communities, people of color, young people, climate experts.
In other words, everyday Texans.
Our work is rooted in local communities as we take collective action at the state level. We work to end racism, economic inequality, gender inequality, and health disparities, - while addressing the climate crisis. Our movement is essential to make our elected leaders commit to securing green jobs, reducing emissions, and ensuring that all Texans can thrive. Our movement is essential in the push to secure a commitment to green jobs from our elected leaders, reduce emissions, and ensure that all Texans can thrive.
OUR ISSUES
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
Texas has many different energy sources. Unfortunately, our dirty energy sources pollute certain communities more than others. This has a real and disproportionate impact on the health - and wealth - of those communities.
CLEAN ENERGY TRANSITION
As the Texas grid moves from oil, gas, and coal to wind, solar and battery storage we’ll have cleaner air and water.
GREEN JOBS + ECONOMIC INVESTMENT
The ongoing transition to more clean energy is creating hundreds of thousands of jobs and bringing a tax base to local communities.
ENERGY
EFFICIENCY
Energy efficiency is a powerful tool in the transition to a clean energy economy.
ACTIVIST SPOTLIGHT
AARON ARGUELLO
My name is Aaron Arguello, and I’m an Advocacy Organizer at MOVE Texas. I was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, where I organize locally around climate justice and other issues. In 2019, as part of MOVE, I advocated for the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP), which committed San Antonio to goals set by the Paris Climate Accords. In 2020, I was appointed to the San Antonio Climate Ready Climate Equity Committee, which is tasked with ensuring the CAAP is implemented in an equitable way across the city. Most recently, I’ve been working on the Recall CPS campaign, which focuses on democratization of San Antonio’s municipally owned utility and closure of the Spruce coal plant, one of the region’s largest polluters. I organize for climate justice and energy democracy because I’ve seen firsthand the way current inequities, and the resulting climate crisis disproportionately harm marginalized communities, both in San Antonio, and worldwide. I believe energy decisions should be made by those whose lives are most affected by present inaction.
