This Giving Tuesday, SunCast brings you three powerful stories of how clean energy is transforming communities, saving lives, and unlocking local climate action.

Host Nico Johnson sits down with leaders working across three different fronts of the climate fight:

• Robin Swanhuyser — Twende Solar

Electrifying community hubs in places like rural Ghana, turning schools and clinics into resilience engines for entire villages.

• Will Heegaard — Footprint Project

Deploying portable solar microgrids after hurricanes and wildfires, from Jamaica to Western North Carolina.

• Jack Hanson — Run on Climate

Empowering local leaders to pass real climate policy—proving the most effective climate action often starts at your city council.

These are tangible, hopeful, boots-on-the-ground solutions you can support today.

Expect to learn:

🔹 Why “being connected to the grid” doesn’t always mean having reliable energy

🔹 How solar-powered microgrids restore communication, water, and medical services after disasters

🔹 Why local elections and city-level policies are quiet climate superpowers

🔹 How small actions—like a $50 donation or even buying a solar-themed puzzle—can create outsized impact

Hope this episode is more than a way to pass the time; pay it forward by donating or sharing w/your community!

Listen in, get inspired, and consider giving where it matters most.
