[1]Bowman for Congress

John,

Right now, millions of families are facing utility debt and potential
evictions across the country — and many of them are unable to pay the
skyrocketing prices of water, electricity, and broadband internet, causing
utilities to shut off.

This current system disproportionately impacts our most vulnerable
communities. Water, power, and internet access are vital, life-sustaining
services.

That is why Rep. Rashida Tlaib introduced the Maintaining Access to
Essential Services Act to cancel household debt for utilities like water,
electricity, and broadband in an effort to help people get back on their
feet.

we’re asking if you’d be able to show support as a grassroots co-sponsor.
Will you please add your name in support of this important bill?

Many people are falling further and further behind throughout the
pandemic-driven economic crisis. But investor-owned utilities continue to
make record profits.

If passed, Rep. Tlaib’s legislation will provide nearly $40 billion in
low-interest loans to utilities and require the utilities that receive
these loans to suspend utility shutoffs, restore disconnected service,
suspend late fees and charges, stop the sale of household debt to debt
collectors, and stop filing adverse reports to credit agencies. The loans
will be forgiven when the utilities forgive all outstanding household
debt.

[ [link removed] ]We must ensure that people can remain in their homes with their water
running and their lights on — and it starts with passing legislation like
the Maintaining Access to Essential Services Act. Add your name as a
grassroots co-sponsor here today.
