How to Power a City Screening

Join Soulardarity for food and a film to kick off the Summer! 

We’ll be screening How to Power a City, a documentary directed by Melanie LaRosa. This film highlights efforts of Highland Park residents when 1,000+ residential street lights were removed by DTE Energy in 2011 due to a city debt. Learn about the fight to relight neighborhoods with community-owned solar street lights. This film explores the real-life struggles of energy burden that marginalized BIPOC communities experience.

We’ll offer different ticket tiers all of which will include dinner! So buy a ticket and bring a friend.
