We’re thrilled to share that Brightline is partnering with regional experts and policy specialists for a timely webinar on California offshore wind, where we will reflect on the changes to the offshore wind landscape, celebrate the progress that has been made, and discuss the path ahead to ensure that the benefits of offshore wind reach California’s communities.

Abrah brings experience as a researcher, farmer, and environmental consultant.  - Catherine Belmán Goggins is the Policy Director at Turn Forward, where she supports advancing offshore wind policies and projects that drive economic, environmental, and community benefits. Prior to this role, Catherine was a U.S. House energy and climate staffer and helped support the passage of clean energy tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act. This is a critical moment for offshore wind, which is facing unprecedented opposition at the federal level. Yet, as we know, California’s leadership on offshore wind is proof that momentum can be maintained and even accelerated when communities and advocates stand together. Save your seat today, share the news with your colleagues, and join us in celebrating progress, sharing strategies, and ensuring that offshore wind continues to move forward—for people, for communities, and for California’s clean energy future.
