Energy insecurity is among the most persistent injustices impacting Black, Brown, and Indigenous people in the US. Faith communities are well poised to help provide space to identify and offer solutions. Join us for this special co-hosted episode with Alabama Interfaith Power and Light and The People’s Justice Council, to hear from experts working at the intersection of faith, justice and energy on exciting energy justice initiatives that are replicable and scalable and already impacting communities on the ground.
Energy justice is deeply tied to the well-being of marginalized communities, and faith groups have a unique role in addressing this issue. The conversation with Rev. Michael Malcom, Elizabeth Chun Hye Lee, and Chandra Farley highlights how Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities disproportionately suffer from energy insecurity. By leveraging faith-based organizations, these initiatives are not only providing immediate relief but are also fostering long-term, scalable solutions that prioritize justice and equity in energy access. This collaboration between faith and justice advocates can create lasting positive change for vulnerable populations.
