Rally & Press Conference + Speak Out at the Public Utilities Commission
August 13 @ 9:30 am - 1:00 pm
Our power bills are too damn high, and now PG&E wants to jack them up even more! They’re even trying to pass the cost of new data center infrastructure on to us!
Join us in fighting back! Take action on August 13th in solidarity with the Affordable Energy Campaign to protest these new rate increases. Tell the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC): Lower our bills. Keep the power on. Make data centers & corporations pay their own way!
We’ll have a press conference and rally in San Francisco before the CPUC meeting.
Then we hope everyone will speak out at the CPUC meeting—either in-person or by phone—to tell them why you oppose these unjust rate increases to line PG&E’s pockets, the hardship they would pose for your family, and why you believe we all deserve affordable energy as a human right!

- 9:30am: Arrive in front of CPUC in San Francisco
