- --- About Energy (in)Equity Series ----

The Energy (in)Equity series is a collaborative conversation that examines how the energy industry perpetuates systemic and racial injustice and what each participant can do to address injustices through individual and collective policy work. Together, we talk about historically uncomfortable topics, help participants understand how the industry got here, and what change for an equitable future can look like.
