Congratulations Friend --



Thanks to action from people like you, the City of Cleveland has extended the shutoff moratorium <[link removed]> for Cleveland Public Power and Cleveland Water through the end of the city's State of Emergency, or July 31.



We're encouraged that Cleveland has committed to preserving these protections through the declared emergency, but the city must go further to ensure that residents are able to stay connected to power and water for the length of the pandemic.



Without water, how will residents wash their hands to stay healthy? Without power, how will vulnerable neighbors power lifesaving medical equipment or stay cool during the heat? Without electricity, how will children access the internet to continue their education?



We need decisive action to prevent utility shut offs



Access to utilities is a basic human right and our leaders must treat it as such. It's never OK to be without access to utilities. Some Ohio utilities have suspended new shutoffs voluntarily, but more transparency and urgency is needed to restore electricity and water to every home.



That's why we can't stop with this progress in Cleveland. We must keep pushing for guaranteed statewide access to utilities for the length of the pandemic and beyond. 



Thanks to leadership from their Governor <[link removed]>, Michigan residents will be safe from water shutoffs through the end of the year. We need Governor Mike DeWine to take similar action now, especially as unpaid utilities bills ultimately result in higher rates for all customers.



Please sign the petition to Governor DeWine. <[link removed]>
