JCET Project
Rooted in Philadelphia, the projects work at four levels:
Locally with community-based organizations, coalitions, and alliances to support policy strategies to advance energy democracy and climate justice.
Statewide with partners across the state of Pennsylvania to build power and policy change on climate equity.
Regionally with partners to build relationships from the Gulf South to PA to challenge the terrible trifecta: an extractive energy economy, racism, and the urban-rural divide.
Nationally in collaboration with grassroots and frontline national networks, alliances, and coalitions on a variety of energy democracy and leadership projects.
