(Clean) Power to the People
Join us for an inside look at how local and regional leaders are building coalitions to influence policy and activate communities for climate justice. You’ll get a glimpse of how Black Visions Collective is empowering local communities of color to take personal and collective action, how the Lake Street Council and West Bank Business Association are teaming up with small businesses to encourage green transit in their neighborhoods, and more. Hope to see you there!
