About this listen

At the Sun Day event Sept. 21 in Portland, Ore.--a rally for clean energy--attendees shared their opinions about the Trump administration's policies targeting clean energy. They described the energy savings and resilience they're experiencing installling solar and storage at home.

One atttendee started to shed tears recalling her involvement in the first Earth Day and the clean-energy inroads that effort yielded. A representative from the Sunrise Movement explained why it's important for youth to be included in clean energy discussions. And two solar prosumers outlined the benefits they're experiencing from their solar and storage deployments.

A team of women sporting solar panel outfits marched around the park where the event was held.

The organizers of the event included Third Act and Indivisible.

Divest Oregon also partcipated in the event.
