Initiative for Energy Justice

The Initiative for Energy Justice is a non-profit organization based in Boston, Massachusetts, with a team of 7 employees. The Initiative for Energy Justice works to advance the adoption of renewable energy while prioritizing equity. They provide policy research, tools, and frameworks to both community organizations and policymakers. Their goal is to empower grassroots movements working on environmental, racial, and economic justice issues with the knowledge and resources to advocate for a fair and inclusive energy transition. They also aim to equip city and state policymakers with actionable strategies that center equity in their renewable energy policies. The organization strives to bridge the gap between policy decisions and the lived experiences of frontline communities most affected by energy transitions. They achieve this by drawing on data collected from these communities, existing energy policies, and their own research to develop practical solutions.
