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!

A campaign fighting to hold PG&E accountable while working towards a just transition for a community & worker-owned energy system

We’re marching on PG&E headquarters to demand they We’re marching on PG&E headquarters to demand they cancel their multi-million dollar contract with Palantir – the tech company that powers ICE. 

Our bill payments should go to keeping the lights on — not funding family separations, community terror, and genocide!
Private utilities made BILLIONS in profits in 2025 Private utilities made BILLIONS in profits in 2025 — off of us!🤬

As California families struggle to keep the lights on, paying the highest electricity bills in the continental USA, utility executives celebrated a record year for profit and greed. 

1 in 5 families are behind on their bills in California — and HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS have their power shut off every year because they can’t afford to pay. This disproportionately harms low-income, Black, brown and disabled communities. 

Just a tiny fraction of these grotesque profits would be enough to forgive all the debt that resulted in shutoffs in the entire country.

Energy is a human right. It’s a public good that we all depend on to live. It must not remain in private hands to enrich Wall Street while working families are left in the dark.

TOMORROW, tell the California Public Utilities Com TOMORROW, tell the California Public Utilities Commission: don’t abandon disabled community members in the next disaster!

For-profit utilities are cutting a life-saving battery program for people who need oxygen and other devices to stay alive during a power outage. 

CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING
📆 Thursday, February 26, 11 am. 
📍By Phone: 
📲 English: 1-800-857-1917, passcode: 9899501# 
📲 Spanish: 1-800-857-1917, passcode: 3799627#

To make a public comment, unmute your phone, and press *1 (star one) when prompted by the operator. 

*BACKGROUND*

The CPUC recently decided that the program, Disability Disaster Access and Resources (DDAR), is unnecessary because another service delivers much smaller batteries insufficient to power an oxygen machine or wheelchair. 

Southern California Edison already defunded the DDAR program as a result – leaving power-dependent people with disabilities and older adults throughout Southern California without a safeguard during emergencies when the power goes out.

Energy is a human right. It’s a matter of life and death. Join us tomorrow to fight for our relatives who need power to live. 

Tell the CPUC: don’t leave disabled people to die in the next outage! Restore DDAR funding now!

Thanks to all of our members who joined us and brought their vision and passion for building a People’s Utility and reshaping our energy future. We spent the day connecting, strengthening our relationships, sharing delicious food, discussing goals and tactics for the year ahead, and creating some beautiful art for our statewide campaign. 

Special thanks to our comrade David Solnit for his generosity, hospitality, creativity and solidarity in hosting us at Bridge Storage Arts and Events and leading us in an amazing art build! We are so grateful for his support in infusing art and culture into our movement-building work.
