Our People

We are writing to express our deep gratitude and admiration for Al Weinrub. Al has been the coordinator and visionary behind the Local Clean Energy Alliance (LCEA) for 14 years. It is with great sadness that Al Weinrub passed away August 30, 2023 after a year-long battle with cancer.

Through his leadership, we have witnessed transformative change in countless communities where previously marginalized voices are now heard and building power towards equitable solutions for energy democracy and justice.

Al Weinrub’s unwavering commitment to energy equity has contributed to the creation of several alliances, and a growing national movement for energy democracy.

Al’s dedication to fostering collaboration and building strong partnerships has enabled us to forge meaningful alliances with grassroots organizations, policymakers, and other stakeholders, resulting in impactful policy reforms and lasting environmental improvements.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Al has been an inspiration and mentor to all of us fortunate enough to work alongside him. His unwavering passion, integrity, and compassion have left an indelible mark on our organization’s culture and values.

LCEA recognizes the immense legacy Al is leaving behind. His leadership has built a solid foundation upon which we will continue to grow and make strides towards Energy Democracy and Justice.

On behalf of the entire organization and the communities we serve, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to Al for his extraordinary dedication, tireless efforts, and profound impact on building movement infrastructure and new leadership to democratize energy.
