As a lifelong Detroiter, I, my family, and my community have been impacted by unfair and unsustainable energy practices from DTE. I know firsthand how deeply the proposed rate increase for Winter 2025 will hurt Metro Detroit families. This is more than just numbers on a bill—it’s about us making ends meet while DTE’s corporate profits soar, valuing shareholders over families. That’s why Soulardarity is standing up, and I’m asking you to stand with us.

On Wendesay September 18, 2024, at 6 pm at Detroit Mumford HS the Michigan Public Service Commission will hold a public hearing on DTE’s rate case. It’s crucial for all of us to show up and speak out. DTE’s proposed $456 million rate increase is unjust and harmful. We cannot afford to stay silent while decisions are made that will disproportionately affect those who are already bearing the weight of high energy costs.

Soulardarity has always been about amplifying the voices of the people, winning in court for solar energy, and against DTE for acts against the community.

Voicing your public comment at this hearing is your right. We must be heard NOW!

DTE is proposing another $266 million rate increase as well, for a $722 million increase before Winter 2025.

Join us Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 6 p.m., speak up and out at the Michigan Public Service Commission public hearing at Detroit Mumford High School.

MISSION:
Soulardarity is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was founded in 2011, when DTE repossessed over 1,000 lights from residential streets in Highland Park MI.
Our mission is to make Highland Park MI a global model of what a future of sustainable energy, green careers, self-determination, and community wealth looks like, while partnering with other Energy Democracy and Environmental Justice organizations to promote that model locally, nationally, and globally.


VISION:
We at Soulardarity envision a world where:
Energy is available, accessible, and affordable for every household regardless of their financial/social status.
Energy is produced by sources that have minimal impact on the environment; solar, wind, water.
Because energy=power, power is returned to the people by holding corporations and elected officials accountable to stand firm on behalf of the health of those they serve.
The Economic Equity of BIPOC communities is restored/built by jobs in the field of Green Energy
Communities, residents, local governments, elected officials, and the future generations are educated about the vital importance of environmental justice in all areas of life; energy, water, food, housing, etc.
