LA Solarpunk
A Los Angeles collective exploring sustainable technology with and for community organizations.
Our mission
Technology should serve our communities, not extract from them.
We are a volunteer collective exploring a future in which technology lives in harmony with nature instead of opposed to it. We partner with mutual aid networks and grassroots organizations across LA to build tools they actually need: solar energy systems, environmental sensors, food infrastructure, and the software that ties it together. Everything we build is open source. We believe the tools to create a more resilient, equitable city already exist. We're here to put them to work.
