Hi John -
Last week, our affiliates in the 350 Network Council co-hosted a Week of Action across the country to hold for-profit utility companies accountable for the climate crisis.
Now, we’re ready to take the fight to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and urge VP Kamala Harris to hold utility companies accountable.
Tell VP Harris: Save our planet and stop the price gouging
For far too long, for-profit utility companies have been raising rates for basic necessities while keeping all of us reliant on expensive, climate-wrecking fossil fuels. In some cases, vulnerable communities — who are often the ones impacted the most by the climate crisis — have to choose between heating their homes or putting food on the table.
But it doesn’t have to be this way, John. Everyone deserves the right to fulfill our basic needs. This is why, if she is elected, we’re calling on VP Harris to step in and commit to capping household utility bills at no more than a reasonable percentage of household income.
Not only would this be a fairer deal for the most vulnerable people in our communities, who spend a bigger chunk of household income on utilities than anyone else. It would also make sure for-profit utility companies are not using our money to continue fueling the climate crisis and end the vicious cycle.
We are going to the Democratic National Convention today, together with key leaders like Louisiana Public Utility Commissioner Devante Lewis — to bring our demands straight to VP Harris, so she can get started on her first day in office. Can you sign our petition now so we can deliver your message to her at the convention this week?
Thank you,
350 Action
