Stand Together On Climate! The Future Belongs To Everyone!

We are a collaboration of community members, city leaders, organizations, artists, and businesses who strive to live sustainably. We work closely with the City, the County and other community partners to set goals and act together to implement our local Climate Action and Resilience Goals.  

Cool Davis works primarily with households, neighborhoods and organizations. Since its founding, Cool Davis has engaged thousands of households in active greenhouse gas reductions through our rooftop solar, home energy efficiency, electric vehicle, and Cool Solutions campaigns. We partner with members of our Coalition as well as local businesses and community institutions to host popular public events, including talks, workshops, ride and drives, showcases, festivals, film screenings, panels, and educational forums. 

In the last year we have renewed our mission and completed a strategic plan calling us forward to: 

Recenter the organization - implementing equity and inclusion strategies and resources into all aspects of Cool Davis as an organization in existing and new programs and structures!

Strengthen our internal systems and external relationships preparing to respond to new partnerships and requests for services!

Respond to the calls for expansion of our programs engaging in & planning the work in and beyond Davis to deliver Home Energy Make A Plan activities, transportation and other program activities and resilience initiatives within our new Climate Ready Neighborhoods framework. 

By Standing Together on Climate we can create enduring community resilience through equitable and inclusive strategies that lower greenhouse gas emissions and help our region adapt to a changing climate.  

As we move forward, we must all act for the people in our community and around the world who do not have the voice or resources to act but share an even greater portion of the risk. Together we can transform our lifestyles for the future of our children, our communities, and our planet. 

To meet our new strategic goals and respond to community resilience needs Cool Davis is reaching out to double the donations and resources need to:

  • Expand of our Make a Plan for Your Clean Energy Home, and our Ride Cool programs in neighborhoods in our community and  beyond
  • Train new volunteer teams working with households in multifamily apartments and neighborhoods
  • Strengthen our collaboration with other organizations to engage and take action in our community and region
  • Respond to increasing requests for help as we all deal with emerging climate impacts

  • Help build neighborhood volunteer and leadership programs 
  • Help support a workshop, online forum, or film screening
  • Help support staff to run programs and manage volunteers

Equity Statement

The statement below is an excerpt from the Cool Davis Statement of Commitment June 2020.

"Cool Davis pledges to listen, engage, and act as follows:

Listen to voices in our community impacted by injustice, to learn more meaningfully about different experiences, to become a better ally, and to use our platform to elevate those individuals and groups to become part of building strong networks for change.

Reform our recruiting practices (board, staff, volunteers), outreach programs, and services and approaches to community transformation to ensure that they are inclusive and truly address the needs of all the households in our community.

Work to protect and restore the environment and commit to building more just systems and programs that restore and enhance the right of all people to a clean, safe, and thriving planet; and, toward that end,

Specifically invite and empower voices from the black community and other communities of color to lead webinars and convenings, and post, edit, and curate content on our media channels."
