We work to address global grand challenges by leveraging the power of community activism and the potential for the arts to inspire and motivate society to take immediate action to end poverty, inequality and climate change.

We published an article about this greenhouse in Solar Today magazine this month. I visited it today after the #SOLAR2022NM conference.

The Office of Public Participation at @FERC should have been established 40 years ago, says Nicole Sitaraman. "It's better late than never." #SOLAR2022NM

Justice40 says that 40% of certain federal investments must go to disadvantaged communities, says Shalanda Baker. It is a "vehicle for economic prosperity." Her department wants to increase energy democracy. #SOLAR2022NM

Energy burden and energy insecurity can lead to death and exacerbate health issues, says Shalanda Baker. People have to choose between food and energy. The pandemic exacerbates inequity issues. #SOLAR2022NM

Excited to hear this amazing group of speakers today at @ases_solar address the just and equitable transition to clean energy - That includes making employment accessible for all! #SOLAR2022NM
