Georgia Energy Burden Community Event
August 8 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Free
Online and In-person
Georgia Institute of Technology in partnership with the Sierra Club in Georgia released an energy burden report highlighting the oversized financial burden Black households face in Georgia.
The report shows how Black households in Georgia face disproportionately high energy burdens, including historic discrimination and disinvestment in infrastructure. The report goes a step further than similar studies by conducting surveys of energy-burdened households to find out what other consequences they face when they spend a significant portion of their income on energy bills.
GA WAND and Brown & Associates have developed a workshop on how changes in policy change your rates. After a presentation on the report, they will lead us in an interactive workshop.
Join Science for Georgia, the Sierra Club, GA WAND, and Brown & Associates for a presentation and workshop on what this means to you, your community, and how you can create change.
