This past weekend, ACC’s Mines branch held its semester kick-off event at The Spot Gym. Members enjoyed free rock climbing, pizza, and strengthening bonds between fellow conservationists. We also want to give a shoutout to ACC Mines branch leader Tyler Linnebur, who celebrated his 30th birthday!

ADVOCACY IN ACTION

ACC’s Richmond branch hosted a panel with  VA Secretary of Energy Glenn Davis, Delegate Amanda Batten, and ACC External Affairs Director Isaiah Menning. We are so grateful to our co-sponsors, AFP and Energy Right, and our host, The Grapevine, for making this event possible. Members enjoyed the spirited discussions and amazing food, leaving with full hearts and stomachs.

RICKY: THERE’S STILL TIME

Nuclear energy is America’s workhorse: clean, safe, and reliable. It keeps the lights on 24/7, powers our schools and communities, and strengthens our national security. But outdated regulations and fears are holding it back.

That’s why Ricky is still on the ground in DC demanding our leaders cut red tape and unleash nuclear power. Now, he needs you on his team.

The deadline to enter for a chance to win your own Ricky plushie is TONIGHT at 11:59 PM ET.

Add your name to Ricky’s petition calling on Congress to cut red tape and invest in innovation to unleash nuclear energy!

ACC will randomly select 25 signers to receive their very own Ricky plushie. Entries close tonight at 11:59 PM ET. Winners will be contacted tomorrow.
