If capacity constraints limit the ability of the organization to actively participate in a working group, the organization is expected to work with the Alliance to spotlight any of the organization’s work that illustrates energy democracy in action.

Part 4. Commitment to a Just Leadership Structure
The Energy Democracy Alliance is open to any group that agrees with and demonstrates a commitment to the mission and principles we are collectively working toward. We are also committed to a cultivating decision-making structure and practice of centering our work around those most impacted by energy policy and least able to influence that policy in today’s system. We expect all member organizations to commit to and work toward enacting those principles within our own Alliance.
Is your organization a membership organization? If so, how do you define membership? *
Organizations that are white-led and/or are led by people with class privilege are expected to show deference to the positions and needs of organizations led by people of color and low-income people. Member organizations must agree to participate in a leadership structure that is weighted toward organizations grounded in low income communities and communities of color. Check here to agree to this type of internal culture and decision-making structure: *
Required
Member Organizations are expected to be up-front about the demographics of their own membership and decision-makers so that the balance of decision-making within the Alliance can be driven by organizations who are in turn driven by largely people of color and/or low-income people.
