Current Campaigns
One Third Project
Americans over 80 have lived through more than a third of the country’s 250-year history. We asked them why this moment feels different.
Stop Data Centers
Third Act elders know the importance of this moment. We’ve seen what happens when Big Tech goes unregulated, and we’ve got the know-how to fight back on a variety of fronts: legal, regulatory, cultural, economic, electoral. Join us!
Solar Advocates Project
The Solar Advocates Project uniquely allows Third Actors to have an actual hands-on role in working with solar developers at the local level to remove barriers and accelerate the rapid transition to solar energy.
Move Your Money
Stop the money pipeline to fossil fuel companies and align your money with your values to fund local businesses, community development, and the buildout of renewable energy.
Simplify Solar
Power Our Future, Cut the Red Tape! We already have the tools to fight the climate crisis—let’s make it easier to use them. Help bring smarter solar permit rules to your neighborhood.
Safeguarding our Democracy
The right of all Americans to vote freely and easily—enshrined in the 1965 Voting Rights Act—is under siege. We can help pressure Washington D.C to create laws that will make it easy for everyone to play a robust role in our democracy. Take action to help us safeguard our democracy today!
Building community through working groups
Working Groups are volunteer-run groups organized by affinity or by geographic location. We encourage these Working Groups to engage with their colleagues and communities by executing relevant campaigns and organizing like-minded elders towards building a more sustainable future.
