Investing in Clean Energy and Pennsylvania’s Working Families

What does a worker-centered clean energy transition look like in one of the nation’s largest energy-producing states? This panel examines labor’s vision for Pennsylvania’s clean energy future—from building and launching the Union Energy coalition to shaping state policy that aligns climate action with economic security.

Panelists will explore the key challenges and opportunities of organizing the emerging clean energy economy, including how to ensure strong labor standards, meaningful community benefits, and real pathways for fossil fuel workers and communities. The conversation will dig into what a “just transition” looks like in practice—and how labor, policymakers, and advocates can work together to deliver an energy future that is affordable, reliable, and union-built.

Lunch will be available after the talk.
