Energy Democracy for All
The green economy hasn't delivered on its promise, so far, to recreate a manufacturing base to employ workers of color. And, the economic downturn is unrelenting: millions of people of color are still out of work and the wealth gap is increasing. Communities across the nation are generating solutions to the economic crises by creating community-owned and operated renewable energy solutions.
