SUMMARY:Energy Futures 2024: Energy Justice for Indigenous Communities & Communities of Color
DESCRIPTION:Join Groundswell and leaders from the climate space as we look at how leaders in the climate space address the disproportionate impact of climate change on communities of color. This panel will share insight into proven solutions already making a positive difference for communities of color. \nEnergy justice has received more attention in recent years and is at the core of the Justice40 Initiative. Justice40 aims to bring 40 percent of the overall benefits of recent Federal climate\, clean energy\, affordable and sustainable housing\, and other investments to disadvantaged communities. Energy justice\, by definition\, promotes equity\, affordability\, and accessibility for individuals and communities regardless of race\, nationality\, income\, or geographic location. \nDuring this webinar\, attendees will hear about the strategies being used to overcome energy challenges that disproportionately impact communities of color from leaders who have seen different solutions put to the test\, including Dianne Dillon-Ridgley (Changemaker and Activist)\, Ryman LeBeau (Oceti Sakowin Power Authority Board Member) and Tiffani Lawson (Resiliency Program Manager at Groundswell). \nThis webinar is part of Groundswell’s ongoing Energy Futures series\, where we host conversations about how communities and organizations can work together to build equitable clean energy futures that align with the needs of individual communities. \nWe hope you will join us for Energy Futures 2024: Energy Justice for Indigenous Communities & Communities of Color on Wednesday\, June 5\, 2024\, at noon ET.

SUMMARY:Market Series: Climate-Resilient and Equitable Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:MCGB and M&T Bank would like to cordially invite you to a panel discussion on Climate-Resilient and Equitable Infrastructure: Understanding paths and opportunities on adapting the build environment to a changing climate \nEvent Details: \nClimate change and extreme weather events pose significant challenges to our built environment\, making it crucial to integrate climate considerations. The lack of climate risk management on the infrastructure of our cities is affecting our communities\, mainly our most vulnerable ones. The cost-benefit of a proactive approach towards adapting the infrastructure to a changing climate is evident and tangible. The cost of adaptation is much lower than the cost of inaction. Our guest panelists will deep-dive into the world of climate-informed buildings\, motivation on pursuing these types of projects and available financing mechanisms. \nModerator: Steve Morel\, CEO at Montgomery County Green Bank \nExpert Panelists:\nStacy Swann\, CEO at Resilient Earth Capital and MCGB Board Member\nShalini Vajjhala\, Executive Director\, Pre Collective\nMonika Serrano\, Resilience Program Manager\, Turner Construction Company\nLaKendra McNair\, Senior Vice President\, Head of Community Climate Resiliency\, M&T Bank \nGuest Speaker:\nGabriela Kluzinski\, Investment Manager\, DC Green Bank \nVenue:1350 I Street Northwest #suite 500 Washington\, DC 20005

SUMMARY:Indigenous Grandmothers vs. AltaGas\, Washington Gas’ Parent Company — A Cautionary Tale for Washington\, DC!
DESCRIPTION:“ AltaGas – the controversial parent company of Washington Gas – is increasingly referred to as “one of the worst fossil fuel companies in North America.” But don’t take our word for it. Join us on Thursday June 20 at 6:30 PM at Foundry United Methodist Church in D.C. for an in-person evening with indigenous Mi’kmaq grandmothers from Nova Scotia.  \nFor nearly ten years\, these heroic leaders fought – and won – a bruising pipeline fight against AltaGas. Along the way\, they encountered the kind of false claims\, greed\, and fossil fuel expansion efforts that Washington Gas now shows almost daily across D.C.\, Maryland and Northern Virginia. \nWhen the Mi’kmaq defeated AltaGas in a celebrated 2020 court case\, they had been threatened by the company with arrest\, exorbitant fines\, and legal action against their community. At one point\, the company put up “No Trespassing Signs” on tribal land\, prompting the indigenous grandmothers to turn the signs around and staple copies of the Mi’kmaq 1752 treaty on them showing this was indigenous land and not available for poisoning. \nHear their story of resistance against AltaGas\, the controversial parent company of Washington Gas. Cheryl and April Maloney\, who led the Mi’kmaq campaign\, will tell their story with words\, photos\, and video. They’ll describe their “spiritual” campaign that began with the building of a sacred fire near the gas company’s proposed pipeline operation\, invoking the spirit and guidance of their ancestors. \nThe hopeful story of the Mi’kmaq is badly needed in the D.C. region where Alta-owned Washington Gas is likewise breaking agreements and trampling consumer interests. Come be inspired at 6:30 PM on June 20 by the story of Mi’kmaq activists who took on the Alberta-based owners of Washington Gas and brought justice to Nova Scotia.”  \n
