As Energy Democracy activists and advocates, we know that energy is more than a commodity–we see it as central to having safe air to breathe, safe water to drink, and livable housing. We know that low-income, Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities have been hit hardest by the control and extraction of centralized power at the hands of a few. And we affirm that from Puerto Rico to Gaza, our organizing around energy and power are linked to the liberation of real, everyday people all across the globe.

• Sign on in solidarity with organizing in Puerto Rico for a democratized, decentralized, and decolonized energy future

It’s time to emphasize solidarity in our movement for energy justice. Together, we’re calling for energy as a human right. That means building ties with folks across the globe 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.

Please keep a look out for upcoming events, and reach out with any conversations you have planned.
