Hello John,

Current energy and water systems are failing us. Too often, corporate shareholder profits are prioritized over providing affordable, clean energy and water to our communities. While profits break records, millions have their power and water shutoff and accumulate debt turning these essential services back on. To make matters worse, extreme weather fluctuations make it more difficult each year to keep our homes comfortable, especially as utilities use these devastating events as an opportunity to charge more.

Luckily, there’s a way out of this mess: local, democratic control of these utility systems allows us to take collective responsibility of living in harmony with natural ecosystems and stewarding life-affirming energy and water systems. We’re launching the “Utilities for All” playbook to point the path towards a world where utility bills are affordable, with no risk of shutoff or mountains of debt accumulating in sight.

We’ve gathered wisdom from activists across the country about how to leverage people power to stop the current harms, fight back against utility debt and shutoffs, and build systems that work for US!

Join us for a live event on September 24th ([link removed]) to hear directly from activists paving the way for new futures free from debt:
