Community Resilience Action Team
We’re looking for 10 volunteers to create and engage in
activities such as community crisis planning, education, and build community cohesion to ensure long-term resilience.
Background: For the past ten years, Highland Park and the surrounding area have experienced a disturbing increase in mass power outages due to poor grid infrastructure that cannot withstand severe weather events, exacerbated in part by climate change. In addition to our efforts to restore streetlights in our community, Soulardarity has been working with community partners and coalitions to advocate for and provide resources to help residents prepare for and respond to these events, such as distributing resilience kits and promoting the use of community solar.
