What We Do:
SAFE is involved in multiple, interrelated campaigns to move our city toward a greener future.
Energy Transition
SAFE supports the building out of the Salem port to support new offshore wind installations off the New England coast. Additionally, we advocate for solar, networked geothermal, heat pumps, and electrification. As part of a just transition, SAFE advocates for new jobs created by these industries.
Public Power
We believe in people power and a democratic economy. In our push for a just energy future in Salem, we have worked with Tufts University to explore public power opportunities in the city. SAFE supports projects that shift resources directly to residents.
Heat Resiliency
In collaboration with the North Shore Community Development Coalition, the City of Salem, the MAPC, and Salem State, SAFE is supporting a resident-led urban heat resiliency pilot project in El Punto. We educate on the impacts of heat and drive data collection through heat sensors, surveys, and heat mapping.
Environmental Justice
SAFE embeds principles of environmental justice into all of its advocacy work. A transition to a green future must be fair and equitable, repairing the damage done to communities of color by polluting industries.
Working together to create a sustainable and resilient community.
