Social movements throughout history have used assemblies to organize and make decisions – this structure and format represents a practice of self-determination and grassroots power. The goal in 2020 is to improve awareness on existing strategies and to gain a better understanding of what eco-justice opportunity means for our communities. We to equip community members with the knowledge and resources for actionable solutions and to have those changes implemented by members of that community.

The new energy revolution has come to Minnesota. Who will benefit from the jobs that will come on line, or the clean energy that is produced? The Just Solar Coalition believes the solar revolution should be accessible to all. That it should be a tool to lift all boats.

Our vision is to:

--Promote access to solar for all, regardless of credit score.
--Strive to close the employment gap breaking down fundamental barriers to an equitable society.
--Reduce carbon and protect the environment.
--Support a new story about how we own and address our energy needs.

The Just Solar Coalition goals are to:

--Build awareness and educate faith and community leaders about the principles of Just Solar and how all can participate and how they can participate in dismantling systemic racism.
--Move policymakers to remove barriers to inclusion and create incentives for equity.
--Move the market by promoting access to financing and creating opportunities for minority-owned businesses, indigenous communities and people of color in the emerging solar industry
--To build model projects in which the Just Solar principals are tested.
