Duke Energy wants to raise our bills… 18%! Why? In part to power big tech data centers. The NC Utilities Commission is holding a hearing in Durham to decide if they should let them. This is a peaceful, fun event to make our voices heard on this!

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 AI tools we don’t use, but are used for:

• Surveillance

• Wars

• Deporting our neighbors

Hear from incredible speakers including: Rania Masri, NC Environmental Justice Network, Darrion Smith of UE 150, &  Durham City Councilman Nate Baker.

Next, rally around for an amazing drag show featuring Naomi Dix! Can she finally get billionaires (Pay My) Bills Gates & Jeff Bozos to pay their fair share? Then speak out at the hearing!
