At the Energy Democracy Project, we’ve committed to decolonize, reverse and repair historic harm, and advance environmental, economic, and social justice for all communities—even when it's difficult. To us, energy democracy is about more than just clean energy: it’s a movement to transform our relationships to one another and with ecologies across the globe.

As we witness ongoing atrocities here in the U.S. and abroad, we must critically examine how the conflicts of our time—from Palestine, to Congo, to Sudan—are inextricably linked. Join us for our first conversation of the year on January 29th, drawing the lines of solidarity between Puerto Rico and Palestine:

As part of the Reimagined Energy for our Communities (REFOCUS) Campaign, we’re inviting community-members like you to join an upcoming conversation From Puerto Rico to Palestine: Reimagining New Futures.

The genocide on Palestinians is an energy justice issue, with impacts that extend across the globe and diaspora. We’ve invited a diverse set of panelists to reimagine new futures where energy is a human right:

• Sharing stories of powerful organizing by diverse leaders throughout the country, paving the way for new futures
• The vision for our collective liberation, from Puerto Rico to Palestine that ensures that all people–especially low-income, communities of color, and indigenous folks–have the power we need to thrive
• Uncovering links between energy, military, and occupation that have spanned generations to block energy as a human right 

Join Youth United for Climate Change Action (YUCCA) and Earth Care NM for the 3rd annual Climate Justice & Energy Democracy Convergence.

Leaders from the environmental and climate justice movement will gather TODAY 1/18 to discuss policies and organizing strategies to advance our vision for a just energy and economic transition.

Energy Democracy centers frontline communities’ ability to build power and liberation by reimagining how we organize our lives toward new systems that support the health and wellbeing of our communities and ecosystems. 

Collaborators from Cleveland Owns (OH), People Power Solar Cooperative(CA), and POWER Interfaith (PA) will be in dialogue with the Energy Democracy Project on January 25, 2024 at 4PT - 5MT - 6CT - 7ET. The event is hosted by the Unitarian Universalist Association, and open to the public. 

2024 is the year of connection. Together, we’re peeling back the layer of top-down control and ongoing colonial legacy to build a people-powered movement. We’re working to ensure that people across race, class, and geography have access to the energy we need to keep our homes warm in the water, support clean air and water, and power safety through the seasons.
