Great article by H.G. Chissell and team about the North Lawndale Project that came out of the grid modernization workshop last year! “In disadvantaged and underserved communities, many times residents, who tend to be African American and Hispanic assume that they do not have control over power outages. In fact, many have accepted that it is what it is, when that is simply not true. It is imperative that we address the worst performing circuits in the city because many of those circuits dovetail with impoverished transportation and economic deserts in the city, only exacerbating inequity and the racial wealth gap.” Shoutout to all of the task force members and support put into this project by the community Michael Thuis Liang Downey, MBA, MEng Hala Ballouz Joshua Davis Ladi Ogunnubi Maisha Earl Chris Townsend Lynn Sutton Meredith VanKampen Krantz Pete Kelly https://lnkd.in/gj8sC2aB
Thank you, Jonathan, for sharing this work and to the inspiring leaders engaged to make a positive impact.
Important work happening in my childhood neighborhood!
