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. Learn from community leaders from the Navajo Nation to Baltimore about how this community-scale solution may be the answer, to be replicated.

Speakers: Shannon Bade, Anthony Giancatarino, Emily Kirsch
