Feedback Survey
How can untapped community assets and the skills of our community members be the building blocks for community control of energy and our economy? In this session, participants will learn about community-led projects across the Bronx and Buffalo that leverage community assets to build healthy, resilient community and collective ownership and decision-making for low-income people of color.  In this session, participants will experience popular education tools and asset-mapping strategies that PUSH Buffalo and the Bronx Co-op Development Initiative/NWBCCC have developed in their respective communities to build power around energy democracy. Participants will walk away with a set of resources and exercises they can use to envision, plan for, and achieve energy democracy in their communities.
