PowerUp NC Invites Raleigh Residents to Envision a Greener Future

PowerUp NC invites Raleigh residents to Robert’s Park Community Center on Saturday, August 29, for a community conversation about sustainability, resilient neighborhoods and environmentally responsible development.

This summer’s extreme heat and rising electricity bills have made the need for action increasingly clear. The event will explore practical ways residents, community leaders and local programs can work together to create healthier neighborhoods where buildings and development support the environment instead of working against it.

Addressing High Utility Bills and Community Challenges

Attendees will have an opportunity to discuss the environmental and economic challenges affecting Raleigh households. The gathering is designed to give residents useful information while ensuring their experiences and ideas are included in the conversation.

Participants can expect to leave with:

• Actionable ideas for addressing extreme heat, energy costs and environmental concerns.
• Information about local programs offering free or low-cost home maintenance assistance.
• A better understanding of how sustainable development can strengthen Raleigh neighborhoods.
• Opportunities to connect with residents who care about sustainability and community resilience.

Free Food and Raffle Prizes

The event is open to residents who are passionate about sustainability, concerned about rising utility bills or simply interested in learning about available community resources.

Everyone who registers will receive free food and automatically be entered into a raffle for a chance to win prizes. Advance registration is encouraged, but residents who have not registered are still invited to participate.

What Is PowerUp NC?

PowerUp NC is a statewide movement working to build a stronger economy, healthier environment and more inclusive democracy across North Carolina.

The initiative addresses issues affecting everyday households, including affordable housing, high utility bills and access to healthy food. PowerUp NC also works to confront systemic injustices, increase community participation and promote sustainable solutions shaped by the people most affected.

Help Shape a More Sustainable Raleigh

Residents’ voices and lived experiences are essential to creating meaningful change. This community gathering offers an opportunity to learn, connect with neighbors and help envision a greener, healthier and more resilient future for Raleigh.

Join PowerUp NC at Robert’s Park Community Center and become part of the conversation.

Hmmm I'm guessing we're gonna see a lot of devlopment 'garchs ready to pave over those "worthless lands"

Rather than destroy what we have, what provides habitat for our threatened #biodiversity, what provides #CleanWater for both #wildlife and us humans, why not focus on redeveloping #brownfield sites, derelict buildings, and urban sites lying unimproved because of #RealEstate speculation?

We can do far better, far greener, far cleaner
