The Energy and Poverty Awareness Center (“EnPAC”), a non-profit dedicated to advancing reliable and affordable energy policies to help reduce poverty in minority communities, will launch on Jan. 25 in Annapolis, Maryland.
Entrepreneur and former Baltimore Ravens cornerback Gary Baxter founded EnPAC after witnessing how energy policies have created systemic barriers that perpetuate energy poverty among minority communities.
At a time when Black households are almost two-and-a-half times more likely than other American households to be disconnected from their utility, EnPAC’s initiatives will focus on reducing poverty by providing reliable energy options that can power economic growth, improve access to education and healthcare, and enhance the overall quality of life for minority communities.
To mark its formal launch, EnPAC will host community members and local officials for a reception at the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel on Jan. 25 in Annapolis, Maryland.
