Northern California residents know that the for-profit utility Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) has been putting profits over the people they serve for decades. We have a fundamental right to affordable, reliable, safe and clean power, and yet the vast majority of those served by PG&E have first-hand experience of the business practices that have lead to steep rate hikes, blackouts and inconsistent service, and disastrous wildfires claiming the homes and livelihoods of thousands.

The time has come to stand up to monopoly utilities and recognize our collective power to push against business as usual.

This week, we're joining the movement of people mobilizing in 17 states across the country, holding 25 coordinated actions to hold for-profit utility companies in our communities accountable for hiking prices and for fueling the climate crisis!

Join us at PG&E Headquarters (300 Lakeside Drive, Oakland) at 11 am on August 15th to deliver a letter from the people calling out the numerous ways their company has failed to serve our community, as well as intentionally blocked progress towards transitioning to clean power. The event will be a press-conference style rally presenting the evidence against PG&E and the for-profit, monopoly utility model.

We are also launching a form to collect stories of your experiences with PG&E, the big and the small, the frustrating and the devastating. Have you been impacted by rate hikes and steep energy bills, blackouts, or wildfires? Have you had issues with poor service or poor communication from the utility? We want to hear about it. By gathering these first-hand experiences, we can learn and share about the breadth and depth of impacts faced by our community and show the need for utility justice in the Bay Area.
