Mission

  • The Partnership for Southern Equity (PSE) advances policies and institutional actions that promote racial equity and shared prosperity for all in the growth of metropolitan Atlanta and the American South.

Why Energy Democracy?

PSE’s focus on centering shared values as it relates to equity and moving a clean energy agenda centered in equity forward aligns with the Energy Democracy movement. Our shared goals are centered in advocacy for greater racial equity in how energy policies are implemented.

Key Strategy

  • Community engagement is vital for the progression of self-sufficient people and neighborhoods
  • Access to high-quality energy should be fairly priced for all
  • Transparency and accountability is a necessity of energy providers
  • Equity accessibility should be the principal growth model for the American South
  • All people have a part to play in our emerging green sector economy
  • The best field and scientific research should be utilized and leveraged to find the best energy solutions

Accomplishments

Against the backdrop of global climate change, “energy equity” translates into the fair distribution of benefits and burdens from energy production and consumption. The Partnership Southern Equity works with its partners to educate and engage low-income communities and communities of color about the sourcing and commodification of power generation in Georgia. While unfamiliar to many residents, those policies significantly impact household utility bills and impinge on the overall quality of air, water and other natural resources that affect our health and well-being.
