This is not a mentally light training and as such, we ask all participants to join us with their full presence. Breaks will be allocated appropriately. Attendance is mandatory for the entire duration of the training.
The training will be held virtually via Zoom. We highly recommend joining the training via computer to encourage full participation. -
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.
