Soulardarity (est. 2012) stands behind our mission to demonstrate that Highland Park, MI can serve as a national model for community-scale clean energy and just transition.

Soulardarity created 6 Standards for a Community-based Solidarity in 2017 to detail our Socio-economic values for (re)building in Highland Park and Surrounding areas.
