Libro de Tácticas del Pueblo: Justicia y los Servicios Públicos
Our vision for energy justice requires innovative strategies that resist monopoly utilities.
In collaboration with energy justice activists, we crafted our very own playbook with strategies and tactics from across the country that work to achieve real wins for our communities.
Historia de Las Utilidades
Electric utilities have infiltrated nearly every aspect of our lives, becoming one of the most powerful industries on Earth.
But this history is brief, and is important to understand as we organize for Energy Democracy across the country. Published in 2021, this book summarizes the history of these monopolies, along with the rise of energy democracy in response.
Modelo de Legislación para la Democracia Energética
Our stories around energy are connected; no matter the color of our skin, our background, or our income levels, we need energy to thrive in the 21st century.
That’s why the Debt Jubilee Working Group of the Energy Democracy Project connects activists working at the state and local level to demand access to clean energy and water as a human right.
Our model legislation requires utilities to reveal how many people are in debt and under threat of disconnection from essential services. We’ve also created a model rule to stop shut-offs. By prioritizing people’s safety over profit, we build power to introduce our own local clean energy solutions.

Plataforma Política de la Democracia Energética
Our policies promote rapid, cost-effective deployment of clean energy assets that build climate resilience and create good jobs. They also map out a strategy that ensures that energy infrastructure remains public assets for maximum environmental and community benefit.
Check out our 2021 Energy Democracy Policy Brief we put forth for our congressional briefing attended by 150+ people in 2021.
El libro, La Democracia Energética
Powerful stories from the front lines
Energy Democracy is a reader that captures the historical and political framework, as well as the underlying values and principles, of the emerging energy democracy movement in the United States. Shared through the voices of leaders across the country, the book pulls together the growing body of renewable energy strategies and practices for shifting our current energy system.
Together, we’re advancing a new decentralized energy model that is equitable, sustainable, resilient, and democratic.
