3 STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO HELP BRING
QUALITY JOBS TO ARIZONA

1. Communicate with your legislators.
Personal emails, letters and phone calls are
very effective. Legislators appreciate hearing
from their constituents. Let them know why
you want quality jobs in renewable energy for
Arizona. Find legislators’ contact info here.

2. Submit letters and opinion editorials
to local newspapers.
Community newspapers and newsletters
are a great way to get the message out.

3. Spread the word.
Schedule GPEC to present the need for a
renewable energy program to your co-workers
and professional organizations, and get them
motivated to help build a renewable energy
cluster in Arizona.
