‼️New article alert!

If energy is fundamental to life, how might energy systems be designed to secure life rather than extract value? 🌱

Changing fuel sources and the energy system alone are not enough.

The answer lies in reimagining energy as a commons—a shared resource governed collectively to meet basic needs.

🤝This looks like renewable energy transitions rooted in care, stewardship, and mutual responsibility.

Learn more about advancing energy commons and what that looks like from a policy perspective in “Energy Affordability: Building a Commons Culture” by Denise G. Fairchild PhD., former President and CEO of Emerald Cities Collaborative and founder of @ubuntuclimate , and Selena Feliciano, Director of EDP.

The Utilities for All Playbook is now available! 🎉🥳

We created this with community-members in mind: for folks struggling with debt, rising bills, and power shut-offs in a changing climate. In a time where folks across race and class are being impacted by negligence at the hands of investor-owned utilities and other centralized entities, it’s important to swap tested tactics that work for US!

That’s why we’re so excited to share wisdom from over a dozen activists who’ve organized for more equitable and democratic local energy systems. The Utilities for All Playbook is our gift to you, our collaborators and allies in the movement.

This Wednesday: A conversation with activists from around the country talking UTILITIES FOR ALL! ✊🏽✊🏿✊🏼
Link in bio.

🎙️We’ll have Erica Flores moderating a conversation with Jessica Tovar (@localcleanenergy ), Monica Lewis-Patrick (@wethepeople_det ), and Caity Southall (our newest Panelist addition from @knoxvillewea ). Big thanks to #ClimateAdvocacyLab for the support in hosting this special event.

💡We created the Utilities for All guide to help utility justice advocates take direct steps to end shutoffs and utility debt. The strategies detailed are the synthesis of key lessons learned from brilliant organizers and activists fighting for the right to clean, affordable, reliable energy and water.

💻Join our conversation to hear more, and gather tactics and strategies to achieve a just and equitable utility system for all.

Our energy systems are failing us.

Everywhere we turn, it seems as if the cards are stacked against us: public utilities commissions, investor-owned utilities, and other entities of centralized power make decisions on behalf of our communities without our consent and leave us in the dark in the face of a changing climate. 🌍

⚡️From shutoffs and debt to blackouts, the problems with the antiquated, undemocratic energy systems are preventable. We CAN transform and reimagined our energy systems—for the people, by the people.

🙌🏽The Energy Democracy Movement is growing. We’re taking the power back into our own hands.🤝

Did you know? 💡

1% of the money 12 electric utilities paid shareholders could have prevented nearly 1.3 million shutoffs.

It’s clear—the current for-profit utility model does not work for our communities.

✊🏼✊🏿And it’s people power that’s paving the way out of this mess.✊🏾✊🏽

Current energy and water systems are failing us. Too often, corporate shareholder profits are prioritized over providing affordable, clean energy and water to our communities. While profits break records, millions have their power and water shutoff and accumulate debt turning these essential services back on.

⚡️Luckily, there’s a way out of this mess—and community already knows the way.

💡We’ve gathered wisdom from activists across the country about how to leverage people power to stop the harms…and we’re ready to share it with you! ✨

20 Years Since Katrina: Community is still here, and community is here to stay ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾✊🏼 #wearethestorm

Last week, Energy Democracy Project’s Selena Feliciano joined a contingent of over 40 people from across the country attending in solidarity with Gulf Coast communities as part of the Katrina 20 Week of Action.

It’s clear: our communities—especially Indigenous, Black, Low-Income, and Communities of Color—are being hit first and worst by climate disaster. We’re also the ones paving the way for new futures rooted in healing, community safety, and joy. ✨✨✨✨

@taprootearth Krewe says it best: Hurricane Katrina (and every extreme weather event afterward) has strengthened the bonds between the Gulf South and the Global South. The human rights to Remain, to Migrate and to Return home for those forced to leave the Gulf South after Hurricane Katrina, and those displaced from their homelands around the world are paramount to climate justice.

Big thanks to our collaborators @ubuntuclimate family and @taprootearth Krewe for the invitations and to the people of New Orleans for sharing their stories with us.

🌍This Earth Day, we’re steadfast in our commitment to solidarity across the country, and around the world 🌍🤲🏽🌀

At the Energy Democracy Project, we believe that a transformed energy system builds a transformed world: we can live in harmony with the Land and one another; and radically counter models of corporate control that fail, harm, and exploit our communities.

🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
Hot off the tails of the #RenewOurPower Gathering hosted by our strategic allies at @350org , we’re gearing up for continued connection with communities across the globe.

📣Through dozens of conversations with organizers from Palestine to Puerto Rico, Canada to Colombia, and beyond, it’s clear: together, we can reimagine our energy systems to work for US!

💡A world where all communities–especially low-income and communities of color–have access to reliable power, clean air, and safe drinking water is possible. And by restoring our relationships with energy and each other, we move toward a more just and thriving world.

Energy is so much more than technology…
it’s in the ways in which we connect with each other, in our connections with the land and each other, in our movement, and in MUSIC!

🙏🏽 Gratitude to @350org (and @sambadeirasderoda !) for welcoming us into Day 1 of the Renew Our Power gathering.

This week, National Campaign Coordinator Selena Feliciano is representing Energy Democracy Project in Brazil as we grow collaboration with hundreds of organizers from around the globe. 🌍✊🏿✊🏽✊🏼 She’s pictured alongside leaders organizing for energy justice across Turtle Island 🌱

💡In the first days of the gathering, we’ve already been able to share stories from our organizing in U.S., gather wisdom from leaders elsewhere in the world, and envision a future where local clean energy is accessible, affordable, and empowering for communities across race, class, and geography.

🌀It’s energizing to feel the power of our organizing fueled by solidarity. Together, we’re reimagining energy for many generations to come 🌀

Join us next Wednesday, 03/19 at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET/2 PM AST for an exciting conversation on policy opportunities for real, everyday people to build pathways for reimagined energy systems.

The energy democracy movement is here to stay in 2025: we know that together, we have the people power to reimagine energy systems that work for US! We envision systems that keep us warm in the winter time, cool in the summer, and stay affordable throughout the year. And, we’re building projects that prioritize our communities over profit while also working to limit extract on our Earth.

In the face of ongoing attacks from the federal government and corporate interests, we’re building momentum for energy democracy and marching forward to justice!

Our current energy system is failing us—from Puert

Our current energy system is failing us—from Puerto Rico, to Palestine, and beyond—and we have to talk about it.

📣
Last month, REFOCUS campaign coordinator Selena Feliciano sat down with @sloclimatecoalition to talk about organizing and the path ahead for climate justice. See the link in bio to listen!
📣

We see how corporate executives and their political allies use energy for military conquest, extraction, and profit-driven motives. Meanwhile, we’re left to suffer. Here in the US, we see blackouts, increasing rates, and never-ending blocks to community-empowering energy.

🌱 But we know that there is a way out.

Energy democracy is about putting power back in the hands of the people and affirming energy as a human right—to live, not to colonize; to cook and stay comfortable through the seasons, not to profit; and to survive through changing times. We envision a system that is in right relationship with the land and with our neighbors all across the globe. And by connecting our organizing, we’re collectively working toward a future where everyone—across race, class, and geography has the energy we need to live.

Power to the people ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

🫶🏽 THANK YOU, Detroit and Highland Park, for a powerful Midwest Regional Gathering! And big GRATITUDE to all participants who joined us for our special event. 🌱

This week, we partnered with @soulardarity to bring together over two dozen organizers spread across the Midwest. We shared stories and helped connect struggles with organizing happening across the Turtle Island to Palestine. 🌎 Participants got the chance to meet with the dope community-members practicing energy democracy in Highland Park, and see Soulardarity’s organizing in action.

As part of the REFOCUS campaign, we’re growing a movement for energy democracy that inclusive, accessible, and exciting ✨🌻 And we want YOU to keep building this movement! Keep a look out for more events in 2025 👀

GRATITUDE! Earlier this month, we had the immense privilege of being part of a powerful conversation with indigenous women spread across Pacific and Caribbean waters 🌊

🙏🏽Thank you to our collaborator Ruth Santiago for inviting us into the @whitehouse Environmental Justice Advisory Council to affirm our right to a decolonized future…from Puerto Rico to Palestine.

REFOCUS campaign coordinator Selena Feliciano moderated the panel “Addressing the heightened risks of climate change in the US territories”. Pictured here are the powerful speakers…Marjorie Atalig Daria with @micronesiaclimatealliance , Ruth Santiago with Comité Diálogo Ambiental, and Tiara Naputi from the Dept of Global & International Studies at UC Irvine.

✨We were lucky to have Andra Samoa, Activist from American Samoa; and Frandelle Gerard, with the Crucian Heritage and Nature Tourism of US Virgin Islands with us via Zoom during the event on Cherokee lands in Huntsville, Alabama.

💡We know that Environmental Justice is not just a concept…it’s a call to action for systemic change. It’s about empowering communities to chart our own futures—free from the constraints of harmful corporate and political interests—to build resilience, safeguard lives, and ensure a sustainable future for all.

✊🏿✊🏽✊🏼In the face of climate crisis, leaders in the so-called US Territories are amplifying calls from community: we need radical change that goes beyond one political administration, election cycle, or season….we need a transformation of global systems in order to support life for generations to come.

“Not only did this gathering confirm that I’m already ‘doing’ energy democracy, but that it’s [happening] all over! And not only can I connect across the country, but I now know how I can help others do the same” -DC Regional Gathering participant

⚡️Today, in partnership with @emeraldcitiescollaborative we hosted a Regional Gathering that brought together organizers across the East Coast.⚡️

THANKS to all who attended, and for all of the ongoing connections we’re bound to continuing building together across corners of the movement—from energy justice to racial, housing, environmental justice and more!

💡We learned about the struggles faced in DC, and how our stories are connected with those of more real, everyday people across the country…from California to Puerto Rico.

👆🏾We identified ways to be in solidarity with one another—from showing up to actions, to testifying on the lived experiences we share within our current systems, to connecting our movement-building with liberation for Palestine, Puerto Rico, and more.

🫶🏽 We left the building with full hearts, ringing with song, poetry, and smiles. Our movement is soulful…and we’re just getting started.

✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏿 In the face of climate catastrophe, genocide, and severe inequities, we’re rising up to say we’ve had ENOUGH! And, we’re coming together to build solidarity across the movement for a reimagined energy future that prioritizes us as people—not corporate greed, profit, or centralized political gains.

From Puerto Rico to Turtle Island, power to the people!

⚡️Stories from the Field ⚡️

Oregon has experienced some of the worst climate disasters in recent years; in the face of wildfires, floods and extreme cold, energy is crucial for keeping people alive. And one thing is clear: the for-profit, centralized energy system is not serving the needs of everyday people.

We are connecting our stories to build a movement for a reimagined energy future that works for our communities! It’s real people like Ana who are getting the word out about people-powered energy systems.✊🏽
