Lake Street Solar (2022)

In Minneapolis, a team of partners finds creative solutions to invest in community-owned power and racial justice. We meet Joaquin Thomas, CEO of Go Solar Construction, who describes the significance of his team's solar project near George Floyd square. Collaborators talk about what this work means to them, and for the broader community. This video was supported by Minnesota Interfaith Power & Light.
