"NJPEEC is a strategic solution to longstanding systemic inequalities regarding energy in our communities," said Marcus Sibley, Chairman of the New Jersey Progressive Equitable Energy Coalition. "We know that all solutions should include leadership and representation of those impacted, and also recognize that background support from a well known organization like NJLCV is key to getting those voices to the important tables. The time for change, is now."
