### Power Energy Justice in Your Community

Access to clean, affordable energy shouldn't be a privilege—it should be a right. Our Community Renewable Energy Fund supports the transition to democratically-controlled solar energy while ensuring low-income households aren't left behind in the green energy revolution.

When you donate to our fund, you're investing in three interconnected programs that build energy democracy from the ground up. Your contribution helps establish community solar cooperatives where local residents own and benefit from renewable infrastructure, organizes grassroots campaigns for energy justice and utility reform, and provides direct utility bill assistance to households struggling with energy poverty.

#### Why Community-Controlled Renewable Energy Matters

Traditional energy systems concentrate power—both literally and politically—in the hands of large utilities and fossil fuel companies. Community renewable energy flips this model, giving everyday people ownership stakes in clean energy production, decision-making power over local energy policy, and the economic benefits that come from keeping energy dollars circulating locally.

Our solar cooperative development program helps neighborhoods launch member-owned renewable energy projects. These cooperatives reduce energy costs for participants, create local jobs, build community wealth, and demonstrate that the clean energy transition can be equitable and democratic. Member-owners have a say in how their energy is produced and how cooperative revenues are invested back into the community.

#### Supporting Energy Justice Organizing

Technical solutions alone won't solve the climate crisis or energy poverty. That's why your donation also funds grassroots organizing for energy democracy—campaigns that push utilities to adopt fair rate structures, advocate for policies that prioritize renewable energy access in underserved communities, and build coalitions that center frontline voices in climate conversations.

Our organizing work includes community education workshops, leadership development for residents affected by energy injustice, and coordinated advocacy campaigns that challenge utility monopolies and demand public accountability.

#### Direct Utility Bill Assistance

While we build long-term systemic change, families need help now. Our utility bill assistance program provides emergency support to low-income households facing disconnection, helps families manage seasonal energy cost spikes, and connects recipients with energy efficiency resources and weatherization programs that reduce future bills.

This isn't charity—it's solidarity. By treating energy access as a human right and coupling immediate relief with systemic transformation, we're building a movement that challenges the very structures that create energy poverty in the first place.
