Virtual

Microgrids offer the promise of resilience, load flexibility, increased renewable energy production and financial benefits. Why do franchise rules tend to prevent microgrids?

Join SURJ and our partners who have been leading social change work on the frontlines for years: Rukia Lumumba from the Movement for Black Lives, Marcela Hernandez from Detention Watch Network, and Tica Moreno from World March of Women Brazil. First, we’ll hear their analysis on the conditions we’ll be facing in the years ahead. Then, we’ll hear lessons from movements of regular people who have carried on sustained resistance under repressive conditions in the US and across the globe.
