#GreenTwitter, an important question: the passage of IRA means that there are pots of money available that communities can put to use in service of climate justice. Are there green groups organizing around helping them access it?

Basically, the IRA made a huge array of resources available, but I haven't seen big green groups/money organizing around it. Is someone going to all the communities & door knocking? Telling them what's available? Who they have to thank for it?
I guess put more simply: who is using the IRA in service of political organizing?
(It is very much like the big green groups to neglect this aspect of things. But the bill's passage is only the first step. It's a tool to leverage further progress!)

One thing that could be done: send a policy expert who knows the ins & outs of IRA to liaise with climate groups trying to organize around it, to help direct & cohere their efforts. Are there policy experts doing this already?
