Youth for Energy Justice is the first in a summer-long series of tour stops hosted by EJNC and community partners to highlight the ways different impacted groups have been affected by our unjust system, and to help collectively take action and stand in solidarity with these communities. Now, more than ever, we need an energy system that protects our communities, and works in the interests of ratepayers, not shareholders! RSVP here
