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!

5:30pm - Rally & Drag Show

7pm - Hearing begins!

Parking: This event is in downtown Durham, which has metered street parking and also garages nearby, including the Durham County Justice Center Parking Deck (502 S. Dillard St.) and garages on American Tobacco Campus (Willard St.)
