Rally to Support Minnesota Protesters Against ICE

Where: The Annex 247 S Alaska St, Palmer, AK 99645

When: Thursday, February 5, 6:30-8:30P

Join MSUP for an evening of food, connection, and conversation about the energy that powers our community. Local energy enthusiasts Rachel Christensen and Allie Sargent invite you to come together to explore why energy justice should be a top priority for community action. High utility bills impact families across the Mat-Su and throughout Alaska—so how can we get involved? We’ll discuss how democratic energy cooperatives give community members a voice in shaping a more affordable, equitable energy future for Mat-Su families.
