John,

Now that the Supreme Court has hampered the EPA's ability to cap carbon emissions from power plants, it's up to states like North Carolina to tackle our climate crisis with serious action.

The good news is we have an immediate opportunity to do that starting this Monday!

The state Utilities Commission is holding a series of public hearings across North Carolina to shape a state energy plan in the public interest. Duke Energy has given them their plan which still relies too heavily on fossil fuels. Now it's time to give commissioners our plan, a plan that gives every North Carolinian equitable, affordable, renewable, clean energy.

Your voice will help set this plan for how North Carolinians get their energy for the next two years. We need to show public support for a fossil-free plan that quickly retires coal power plants, ramps up solar and wind, and includes no new gas.

Here are the details:

July 11, Durham
Durham County Courthouse, 510 S Dillard St, Durham
5:30 p.m., rally at plaza in front of the courthouse
7 p.m., public hearing, Courtroom D7

July 12, Wilmington
New Hanover County Courthouse, 316 Princess Street, Wilmington
6 p.m., rally
7 p.m., public hearing, Courtroom 317

July 27, Asheville
5:30 p.m., rally in Pack Square
7 p.m., public hearing, Buncombe County Courthouse, Courtroom 1-A, 60 Court Plaza, Asheville

July 28, Charlotte
4 p.m., rally and press conference, Marshall Park, 800 E 3rd St, Charlotte
7 p.m., public hearing, Mecklenburg County Courthouse, Courtroom 5350, 832 E 4th Street, Charlotte

Commissioners need to hear from John xxxxxx louder than they hear from Duke, polluters, and politicians. Show up at one of these rallies and stand with us and our allies!

Thank you for your advocacy,
