Move the Market

We move the market by challenging solar developers to promote our values of justice and inclusion.

In 2018, the Just Solar Coalition sponsored a People’s Movement Assembly to bring together and learn from the collective knowledge of people working across the energy and environmental justice space. At this event, participants brainstormed what access, workforce development and public policy solutions would bring about authentic equity in the developing solar arena. Guided by this feedback, we are in the process of developing a series of Just Solar standards to influence developers, policymakers, and stakeholders in the solar industry to move towards greater equity and justice in solar development. This includes labor and workforce equity, equity in access, existence of community ownership and financial benefit, and the protection of ecology and natural resources.
