What we do

Verde works to address the environmental, economic, and health injustices communities face. 

We do this by delivering energy solutions that lower household utility bills, advocating for policies that improve people’s lives, and engaging with communities to build collective power and create lasting change for our environment.

Why we do it

At Verde, all of our programs work at the intersection of environmental, racial, and economic justice. We believe that our environment is at the heart of all issues of livability, security, and wealth.
