We are reaching out on behalf of GRID Alternatives Greater Los Angeles (GLA), a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding equitable access to clean energy, mobility, and sustainable technologies, and the William C. Velásquez Institute (WCVI), a nonpartisan public policy research and advocacy organization focused on environmental justice and community empowerment. Together, we are driving meaningful change by addressing systemic barriers to sustainable technology adoption through innovative programs such as the Take Charge Initiative.

Take Charge is a pioneering effort in East Los Angeles designed to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and expand access to affordable, convenient residential EV charging solutions, particularly in underserved and environmentally impacted communities. We will host a Ride and Drive on May 17th, 2025 and we would like to invite you to partner with us on this endeavor.
