Washington Action Day for LIHEAP Is January 30

The sixth annual Washington Action Day for LIHEAP is January 30 in Washington, D.C.  Organized by the National Fuel Funds Network (NFFN), it is a grassroots effort to gain awareness of energy assistance funding needs.

More than 100 NFFN members and LIHEAP supporters are expected to come to Washington to meet with more than 200 members of Congress.  NFFN has also organized a press conference. 

For those who can’t attend the event, NFFN has a toolkit on its website with suggestions for local fuel funds activities aimed at raising awareness of energy assistance needs.

As in 2007, NFFN is coordinating Washington Action Day for LIHEAP with the Edison Electric Institute Low Income Best Practices Workshop, which will be held on January 28 and 29. Last year 145 NFFN members and supporters attended Action Day.  The first Action Day was held January 8, 2003, attended by 20 NFFN members.
