Across the nation, communities have faced an increasingly unstable utility reality as expenses rise and shut-offs become more common. In this episode, we explore what utility justice can look like for millions of Americans who find themselves in the crosshairs of profit-driven energy companies. Join us as we speak with Yesenia Rivera, Executive Director of Energy Allies, a woman of color-led nonprofit that is revolutionizing the energy system by centering climate-impacted communities through clean energy projects, policy advocacy, and education. Yesenia shares the ways utility injustice impacts environmental justice communities and discusses the policy solutions that can provide a more just future for frontline communities.  RESOURCES TO LEARN MORE:   Energy Allies https://energy-allies.org/    People's Utitlity Justice Playbook  https://www.energy-allies.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/People-Utility-Playbook.pdf    People's Utility Justice Playbook Information Session https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBKoULKLd0U&t=5s    STAY CONNECTED: www.justsolutionscollective.org Instagram @justsolutions_org Twitter: @Just_Solutions_ Facebook: /JustSolutionsOrg LinkedIn: /just-solutions-collective   EPISODE CREDITS:  Host: Aiko Schaefer  Producer: Tayler Ward  Editor and Recording Engineer: Angel Bautista Graphic Designer: Angel Bautista Music: Paolo Pavan - Street Walk Album: The Swing of Things - Mar 14, 2019 Info about license and crediting can be found here and in the folder
