“Supporting government to better serve communities of color, indigenous communities, and low-and moderate-income communities is critical to RAP’s work. Hearing from and consulting with marginalized communities isn’t just a matter of equitable inclusion — it’s essential to protecting the public interest and securing the nation’s energy future.”
