Hoosiers from around the state will gather at the Indiana Statehouse on Tuesday, Jan. 21, to advocate for their energy rights at the sixth annual Renewable Energy Day. The event will be in-person from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The event will kick off with interfaith opening remarks from Rev. T. Wyatt Watkins, Pastor of Cumberland First Baptist Church in Indianapolis. Attendees will meet with legislators throughout the day with lunch and a press conference featuring policymakers and advocates. Participating organizations, including nonprofits and renewable energy companies, will be available throughout the day to offer information and resources about Indiana’s clean energy transition.
This year’s event will feature engaging activities throughout the day, including clean energy bingo and an opportunity to write postcards to lawmakers who aren’t available for meetings. Charter buses will be bringing attendees to the Statehouse from Southwest, Northwest and Northeast Indiana at no charge.
