Win or Lose Tomorrow California Needs to Lead

To say that tomorrow is an important day for you=2C for us=2C and for our=
 country would be an understatement=2C and yet it still needs to be said.=
 The outcome of tomorrow has a profound effect on our collective future.

If the election goes one way=2C we will likely have another four years of=
 critical federal support and funding to move forward on key issues such a=
s building performance=2C environmental justice=2C materials=2C workforce=
 development=2C and occupant health. Yet even with that support=2C it is u=
p to each of us here in California to work to bring that funding to our co=
mmunities of need and deliver effective models for impact that can be a te=
mplate for other parts of the country=2C if not the world=2C in areas with=
out the same access to intellectual=2C financial=2C and political capital.

And yet=2C if the election goes the other way=2C our work here in Californ=
ia becomes a shining light for what is possible=2C what we can do if we as=
pire to build a better world for each other=2C together. Can we electrify=
 our buildings affordably and equitably? Can we offset decades of pollutio=
n in communities of need? Can we deliver a growing green economy? Can we b=
ecome more resilient and adapt our environment for a more uncertain future=
? I believe we can=2C and I believe that win or lose=2C the California Dre=
am means something to everyone=2C everywhere.

There is no better place than here=2C and no more important time than now=
=2C to prove this positive change is possible=E2=80=A6 And this is why we=
 need you. We need your voice=2C we need your vote=2C we need your leaders=
hip=2C we need your energy=2C your expertise=2C and your commitment to bui=
lding this better future=2C together.

So=2C please=2C get out there and vote=2C and then when the sun rises the=
 next day=2C let=E2=80=99s pick up the pieces and start building again. Pl=
ease join us (https://usgbc-ca.org/become-a-member/?utm_source=3DNewslette=
