At 9to5 Georgia, we’ve developed models that work, and strategies to address challenges and keep policy changes moving forward. We’ve developed the resilience, credibility, collaborations, experience, and expertise to replicate our success and continue to build a stronger infrastructure for social justice in Georgia.
In Southwest Georgia, we are focused on assisting everyday people in taking actionable steps to envision a community where environmental and energy systems are balanced. 9to5’s engagements with its communities and partners in this work will be/are centered around building community power through self-determination, care and resilience, and education. Through our trainings communities will recognize inequities in their environmental and energy systems and take active steps towards removing those barriers.
Since 2017, 9to5 Georgia has been at the epicenter of organizing in Southwest Georgia on the issues of high light bills. The Albany Coalition to Lower Utility Bills (ACLUB) was founded to identify the reasons for high utility bills and organize local community members around the issue. Since then, 9to5 and ACLUB have integrated utilities justice into key voter engagement work in the region, trained women to demand solutions from their city leaders, and worked with other advocates to bring attention to the utilities crisis, but there is more to be done.
