How do we fairly transition RI's buildings away from fossil fuels?
This is the question we're helping to answer, in collaboration with a research group at Brown University. Their goal is to price the just transition for Rhode Island's buildings, so our state can create fair, equitable public policy that meets our decarbonization goals and meets the moment of accelerating and increasingly violent climate crisis. And they've hired us, Rebuild Woonsocket Community Movement, to be part of this work, to make sure that the community’s hopes, concerns, and needs are centered in this ambitious project.
That's why we're excited to invite you to our Community Conversation in Woonsocket, where we'll bring residents together to discuss their ideas about fairness in building decarbonization. Snacks will be provided, and stipends are available on a first-come, first-served basis (the first 25 folks who RSVP and indicate that they would like a stipend, and stay through the duration of the meeting, will receive them).
