Tickets are on sale now for Climate Xchange’s Tesla raffle drawing which will take place at 3 p.m., February 26. A maximum of 4,000 tickets will be sold to support the nonprofit’s mission to provide research, education and advocacy tools to accelerate our transition to a low-carbon economy at the local and state levels.

Purchase of each ticket provides five chances to win a prize: four cash prizes and the grand prize of a new Tesla. The drawing will be streamed over the internet; instructions for locating and joining the stream will be published on the website a few days before the drawing is held.

At a time when the federal government stagnates on climate action, states and local governments can pass policies that will ensure the well-being of communities by preparing them for the worst impacts of climate change, improving public health and generating investments into clean technology, all while creating much-needed jobs. This year has shown us some of the most horrific escalations of climate impacts and how critically urgent meaningful climate action is. We have seen more deadly heat during the summer, worsening hurricanes and wildfires and the unprecedented melting of Arctic ice and floods.
