People over Profits! Take local action with us next week!

Eric,
 

This has already been a summer of climate-fueled chaos. We’ve been scorched by heat waves, watched millions of acres burned in wildfires, and seen communities devastated by multiple hurricanes - Some friends in Texas were hit with a second hurricane before their power came back on from the first storm. Even this week Tropical Storm Debby is drenching Florida towns still recovering from storms Idalia and Ian.

As temperatures soar to dangerous highs, and severe storms and fires knock out our electricity, local utilities are raising rates to unaffordable, record-setting heights, and plowing the proceeds into new and bigger fossil fuel power plants, pipelines and more. Millions of vulnerable families are struggling to keep the power on  while utility companies profit off the climate crisis.¹
 

That’s not right. So next week, we're teaming up with national and international partners to make it clear: We’ve had enough of greedy for-profit, pro-pollution utilities. Will you join us?

RSVP for the Week of Action today!

Across the United States, for-profit utilities are making decisions based on grabbing power and profits, looking to maximize their earnings instead of speeding the shift Beyond Extreme Energy to safe, affordable, reliable and clean energy.

In 2020, more than 1 in 4 U.S. households reported difficulty paying their energy bills or kept their homes at an unsafe temperature because of energy cost concerns.² Meanwhile, shareholders make bigger profits than ever. 

JOIN US! August 12 - 18th for a week of action to demand utility justice! 

Thanks,

Drew and the BXE crew
