Organizations and grassroots efforts across Wisconsin are joining together during the first week of August to call upon utilities to close dirty, expensive, oppressive, coal-fueled power plants. Six coal plants in the state have yet to be announced for retirement. We don't have to wait for the utility companies to think it's a good idea - we can make sure they hear loud and clear that we demand an end to burning toxic coal - for our health, the economy, our planet, and justice.
In Southeast Wisconsin, we live among a pair of coal-fueled power plants operated by We Energies at their Oak Creek facilities. We also breathe some of the worst air in the state. Let's make sure we turn out during the week of action so our voices are heard.
RSVP ([link removed]) now to receive updates and details so you can take collective action each day.
Let's do this - Together! ([link removed])

Urgent Action Needed - Sign the Petition ([link removed]) to demand that We Energies do the right thing in a global pandemic
The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC) announced in June ([link removed]) that that they will lift the moratorium on utility disconnections that they had previously instituted due to COVID-19. The moratorium will expire this month. This means that those who cannot afford to pay utility bills may lose power during Wisconsin's hottest months, when people of all ages are home instead of in cooled buildings, and while some of those who lose power may be experiencing illness by the virus and other health conditions. This gives decision-making power on shutoffs to for-profit utilities including We Energies. Sign this petition ([link removed]) to demand that We Energies refrain from shutoffs during a global pandemic, and to call for a just transition to clean energy at this critical time.

The Governor's Task Force on Climate Change
It's not too late - you can submit comments to the Governor's Task Force on Climate Change through July 31
Though the virtual public hearings are complete, you can still go to the state website to submit your written comments ([link removed]) through July 31. Below are some questions that the task force members asked during the hearings to get you started if you're not sure what to write.
* How is climate change impacting you and your community?
* What ideas do you have for strategies to address climate change and the resulting impacts in your community and Wisconsin?
Take a half hour to let your state government know how you feel!
Thanks
