‘Environmental Justice and Building Our New Grid – Where Should It All Go?’

January 20 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Saturday, January 20 from 2-3:30pm. In person at First Parish Concord (20 Lexington Rd, Concord) and online.

Join the MA Environmental Justice Legislative Table to discuss the elephant in the room – how do we build the renewable distributed electric grid we need fast, while not repeating the mistakes of the past? Learn more about our vision for infrastructure, energy democracy, and centering frontline communities in the process – as well as the current policy proposal from the EJ Table to green light good projects fast and nip bad projects in the bud.

REGISTER
