Our “Visions of a Resilient Kansas: Energy Justice for All” annual fundraiser and awards celebration will be held virtually on October 19, 2021, starting at 6:00 pm. We hope you can participate in any of the ways listed below.
Featuring Keynote Speaker, Shalanda Baker
Shalanda H. Baker serves as the Secretarial Advisor on Equity and as Deputy Director for Energy Justice in the Office of Economic Impact and Diversity at the U.S. Department of Energy.
Prior to her appointment, she was a Professor of Law, Public Policy and Urban Affairs, at Northeastern University. She has spent over a decade conducting research on the equity dimensions of the global transition away from fossil fuel energy to cleaner energy resources.
She is the author of Revolutionary Power: An Activists’ Guide to the Energy Transition, over a dozen articles, book chapters, and essays on renewable energy law, energy justice, energy policy, and renewable energy development.
In 2016, she received a Fulbright-Garcia-Robles research fellowship to study climate change, energy policy, and indigenous rights in Mexico. She is the Co-Founder and former Co-Director of the Initiative for Energy Justice, an organization committed to providing technical law and policy support to communities on the frontlines of climate change.
Note: In order to ensure that everyone can hear Shalanda Baker’s message, we have adopted a Pay As You Can sliding scale for tickets this year. While this is a fundraising event, we don’t want cost to be a barrier for any community organizers or activists to be able to attend.
The Climate + Energy Project and our supporters build resilience in Kansas through equitable clean energy solutions and climate action. Energy justice is a critical piece of this work. The pandemic highlighted how energy insecurity exacerbates existing inequalities. Shalanda Baker’s work inspires advocates to integrate energy justice frameworks. Bring your friends to learn more about the importance of energy justice in climate action and help lead the way to an equitable clean energy future in Kansas.
