John -
This week is New York Climate Week, a pivotal moment for advocating
climate action and urging our government to prioritize our planet’s
future.
But who is one of this week’s main sponsors? National Grid. A fossil
fuel-powered utility company that monopolizes the New York and
Massachusetts utility market.
National Grid is spending the big bucks to greenwash its reputation this
week — even as it just approved a staggering 30% rate hike for customers
to support fossil fuel expansions.
This hypocrisy cannot go unchallenged, John. [ [link removed] ]Add your name
to tell National Grid to stop the rate hikes and commit to clean,
renewable, and affordable energy for all.

To call out this greenwashing, 350 staff, in solidarity with Sane Energy
Project and Climate Defenders Action, staged impactful disruptions at a
Climate Week panel hosted by National Grid yesterday, making our voices
heard loud and clear.

And our fight against National Grid is just one part of our fight for
utility justice.
We believe energy is a human right. John, you pay your energy
bill to power your home, cook your meals, and support your daily life.
But greedy, for-profit utility companies can choose to use those funds to
invest in energy sources that are unreliable, expensive, and burning up
the planet.
They can choose to raise rates for their own profit, and then they can
turn off our power in seconds if we don’t pay them enough money.
And they spend that money on political lobbying, and can be paid off by
Big Oil billionaires who are desperate to pad their own wallets by keeping
us all dependent on destructive energy sources — even when there are
cleaner alternatives that are perfectly safe and affordable. Enough is
enough.
Together, we can hold National Grid accountable and amplify our fight for
true utility justice. [ [link removed] ]Will you stand with us and add your name to tell
National Grid to commit to clean, renewable, and affordable energy for
all?
