DETROIT - Soulardarity will be hosting a screening of the documentary "How To Power A City" by director Melanie La Rosa at the Detroit School of Arts Ford Theater on Sunday, June 9 from 1 to 5 PM. Ticket proceeds will be going directly to Soulardarity to fund its ongoing work.

Soulardarity is a membership-based 501c3 non-profit located in Highland Park and works in the Detroit Metro Area. They were started in 2011 after DTE repossessed all of the residential street lights in Highland Park with the determination to bring the street lights back to the community, but this time with clean, solar energy. They are working to install solar-powered street lights, save residents money on energy bills, and with their neighboring communities build a just and equitable energy system for all.
