As wildfires rage through California and PG&E cuts power to millions of people, we’re bringing together communities that have been unfairly burdened with the impacts of a dirty, dangerous energy system to demand a safe, reliable, community-and-worker-owned energy system that benefits all Californians, especially the people most harmed by PG&E and California’s other for-profit investor-owned utility monopolies, Southern California Edison, San Diego Gas & Electric and SoCal Gas.

Be a part of the movement to Reclaim Our Power!

Utility justice and decolonization were on center stage this Sunday. Bad Bunny spotlighted the extreme energy crisis fueled by disaster capitalism that Puerto Rico has been suffering since Hurricane Maria destroyed the power grid, which was subsequently privatized. Millions were left without power for months, causing thousands of deaths, and the island still faces frequent blackouts from a crumbling, centralized grid designed to maximize profit, greed and extraction, not serve the people. 

But the people of Puerto Rico have been resisting privatization and reclaiming their energy future. We’re so inspired by the innovative work of @casapuebloorg to create a decentralized network of interconnected solar microgrids to support each other, share energy during emergencies, and create a more resilient energy system from the ground up – dramatically reducing energy bills and eliminating blackouts by bringing power generation directly to communities. (See the video on the last slide for more info!)

We’re also painfully aware that as we’ve been talking about Bad Bunny’s performance, the US empire is denying energy to the people of Cuba through a criminal blockade, and the island is now experiencing life-threatening blackouts and critical power shortages similar to those that Puerto Rico has experienced.

Energy is a human right and a public good. It’s a matter of life and death. It should never be left in private hands. We hope that millions of people were awoken by Bad Bunny’s message. And we know that our role as organizers is to move them farther along their politicization journey — towards becoming active, committed members of the movement for energy democracy and collective liberation.
Do you wonder why our power bills keep going up wh Do you wonder why our power bills keep going up while private utility companies like PG&E cause massive disasters across California?

We’re appalled that PG&E does business with Pala We’re appalled that PG&E does business with Palantir, the tech firm that powers ICE. We do NOT consent to our utility bills funding ICE’s terror against our communities!

Shoutout to our comrades at @acce_action for shutting it down this week in San Diego! ✊⚡️

The community demands that PG&E and other utility companies: 

1. Immediately terminate all contracts and business relationships with Palantir Technologies.
2. Publicly commit to never doing business with companies that provide services to ICE or other immigration enforcement agencies.
3. Reinvest utility customer money in affordable, reliable energy service rather than corporate partnerships that fund mass surveillance and violence against our communities.
