Powering New York: Design, Governance, and Repair
Wed, Aug 19, 2026 · 6 PM ET
About
A symposium treating power plants, substations, and transmission infrastructure as an overlooked design and governance problem, one whose burdens concentrate disproportionately in working-class communities of color even as the systems themselves stay invisible to most residents. Confirmed speakers Daniel Chu of the NYC Environmental Justice Alliance and Dariella Rodriguez of The POINT CDC discuss public ownership models and democratic governance as routes to faster, more equitable climate action.
