The Inflation Reduction Act's tax credit opportunities represent a significant aspect of the IRA and account for the majority of the policy's spending commitments to communities and individuals. In this episode, we speak with Sylvia Chi, Senior Policy Analyst at Just Solutions, about exactly how the tax credits and related programming impact BIPOC-Frontline EJ Communities. Join us as we examine the scale of these tax credits, their impact on the advancement of clean energy, and what environmental justice organizations need to know to leverage tax credits for the benefit of their communities.    RESOURCES TO LEARN MORE:   Energy Tax Credits and the IRA  https://www.justsolutionscollective.org/blog-posts/energy-tax-credits-and-the-ira-recommendations-for-equitable-outcomes    Our Recommendations for Treasury's Low-Income Communities Bonus Credit Program https://justsolutionscollective.org/our-recommendations-for-treasurys-low-income-communities-bonus-credit-program/   Clean Energy Neoliberalism: Climate, Tax Credits, and Racial Justice https://rooseveltinstitute.org/publications/clean-energy-neoliberalism/    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
