What is Ready For 100?
READY FOR 100 is a national movement of people working to inspire our leaders to embrace a vision of healthier communities powered with 100% clean, renewable energy. We are asking mayors, CEOs, religious leaders, principals, civic and community leaders, parents and students to commit to solutions that help us achieve 100% clean, renewable energy across the United States by the year 2050.
We are different from traditional grassroots campaigns in a few ways. Ready for 100 (RF100) is a distributed campaign, creating networks of local leaders who support each other in building a powerful, well-organized movement from the ground up. Local volunteers are working city-by-city pursuing equity through transitions to 100% clean renewable energy that center the needs of affected communities. And nationally we’re building a movement amplifying these stories to demonstrate that 100% is not only possible, but it is happening now. These two strategies are working together to collectively shift the national public will to transition our energy sectors to a just 100% renewable energy future.
Where is Ready For 100?
Currently, over 40 cities including Atlanta, Salt Lake City, and San Diego, have already adopted ambitious 100% clean energy goals, and five cities in the U.S. -- Aspen, Burlington, Greensburg, Kodiak Island, and Rock Port -- have already hit their targets (See all 100% commitment cities, counties, and states in the U.S.). These cities now generate 100% of the energy used community-wide from clean, non-polluting and renewable sources. A city commitment to 100% clean renewable energy is a mandate for action.
This map shows the over +100 local teams working to equitably transition their communities to a 100% clean, renewable energy.
