Our electricity use connects us to a global infrastructure reliant on non-renewable resources, causing pollution and climate change. While environmental impacts draw public outcry, less attention is paid to communities impoverished by energy providers prioritizing profit over human well-being. These communities hold the greatest potential to transform our energy system from one dominated by "big dirty energy" to a distributed, clean, and democratically controlled model.

Jackson Koeppel will share Soulardarity's work on community-owned solar street lighting in Highland Park, MI, and the history of US energy monopolies. He will explain why a clean energy transition means more than just changing power sources; it fundamentally shifts who controls that power.

After a 2011 march against strip-mining, Jackson Koeppel became committed to exploring alternatives to an extractive economy. That same year, he found his cause in Highland Park, MI. The Detroit-area city had lost 80% of its population, and in 2011, 1,000 of its 1,500 streetlights were decommissioned due to a $4 million municipal debt, leaving residential streets in darkness.

In response, Koeppel co-founded Soulardarity. This community organization is installing 200 solar streetlights and forming a cooperative of residents, businesses, and institutions to maintain them through annual dues. These affordable, eco-friendly lights foster community resilience and sustainability discussions.

In June 2021, economist Tim Jackson and Garrison Institute co-founder Jonathan F. P. Rose discussed envisioning a viable future. Their conversation explored the worldview and systemic changes necessary to address the root causes of climate change, social inequity, and financial instability.

They identified capitalism itself as the underlying issue. Jackson further explores this post-capitalist future in his forthcoming book, *Post Growth: Life After Capitalism*.
