Duke Energy wants to raise our bills... 18%! Why? In part, its to power big tech data centers. The NC Utilities Commission is holding a hearing in Durham to decide if they should let them.

The real energy emergency: North Carolinians having to choose between paying the light bill and paying for food, medicine, or rent!

One reason your bills are so high?: NC electric bills are subsidizing power for big tech companies’ data centers.

What makes it even worse: Our money, water, & land are being consumed for for AI tools we don’t use, but are used for:

  • Surveillance
  • Wars
  • Deporting our neighbors

Hear from incredible speakers including: Durham City Councilman Nate Baker & Nadeen Bir District 2 Durham School Board Member & co-founder of Mothers for Ceasefire.

Then, rally around the electrifying queen herself, Stormie Daie! Can she teach (Pay My) Bills Gates & Jeff Bozos a lesson? Then speak out at the hearing!
