Beyond Coal is one of the most extensive, effective, and long-lasting campaigns in the history of the environmental movement. Through our national campaign and chapters across the country, we advocate for an electric power system run on affordable, reliable clean energy and not fossil fuels.
By mobilizing our members, deepening grassroots leadership, and winning local victories, we are building power for long-term, durable climate and justice wins.
We engage over a million members and supporters to intervene in public utility dockets, in litigation, and before state and federal agencies to advocate for clean energy. We build broad, inclusive coalitions that bring together local consumer advocates, labor organizations, large energy consumer groups, clean energy advocates, and environmental justice leaders.

What utilities do, or don't do, over the next decade will either drive us to more polluting, expensive fossil fuels or lead us to a clean energy transition. What is your utility doing?
