In a conversation from Drawdown Georgia, climate justice advocate Eriqah Vincent sat down with Janet Miller, Electric Transportation Manager at SACE, to discuss equity in the accelerating energy transition. Watch the video to learn how SACE and its partners in the Electric Black Futures project are working to engage Georgia’s Black communities by promoting green jobs and increasing access to e-mobility.
Electric Black Futures is a project in Albany, Savannah, and Atlanta working to create future-focused e-mobility plans that open doors to green jobs and economic growth. Our objective is to strategize and document accessible and innovative transportation systems in these dynamic geographies and better connect clean energy policy and incentives to community leaders eager to lead technological development.
Community liaisons play a pivotal role in fostering engagement, building relationships, and facilitating communication between our project and the communities we serve.
Liaisons in the Electric Black Futures Project work alongside local partners to track progress, address challenges, and identify opportunities across communities. They co-lead Local Advisory Board meetings, strengthen relationships with community leaders and organizations, and serve as a bridge to ensure the project’s goals are understood. Their role also includes supporting research by promoting surveys, organizing focus groups, and assisting with participant recruitment. In addition, liaisons share project updates with the community, respond to feedback, and help shape effective engagement strategies.
