Green Home Tour: Learn About Healthy Home Electrification

 Welcome to the Green Home Tour! You’ll learn about electrification firsthand. See homes throughout the Peninsula and South Bay that have switched from gas to clean electricity.
 Talk with homeowners about how they chose energy-efficient water heaters, furnaces, dryers, induction cooktops, stoves and more. Learn about the cost — and the rebates you can get while improving your home's comfort with healthy, indoor air quality. Learn whether to select a contractor — do-it-yourself — create a plan that fits your family's finances.
 
 As you visit each home, you'll find QR codes you can scan for details about each feature. Student volunteers will also be on hand to share more information. With 20 homes on the tour, you can pick a route based on how much time you have and which communities you'd like to visit.

Write Postcards to Under-represented Georgia Voters

Our League will be writing postcards to Georgia voters to encourage them to vote in the upcoming November 8th, 2022 general election. These nonpartisan postcards from Reclaim Our Vote will be sent to infrequent black voters with a message to vote early and several key reasons to vote. Postcards from Reclaim Our Vote have a high success rate in turning out voters because they attempt to follow up with voters after the postcards are received.
 
 Postcards will be available starting September 5th and must be mailed between October 10th-20th.  
This opportunity is for League members only and you will be asked to sign into your League account to register.
