Join Us to Tell Newsom and the CPUC:

A protest flyer with bold text that reads “NO MORE RATE HIKES NO MORE WILDFIRES NO MORE NEGLIGENCE NO MORE CORRUPTION.” The flyer announces a rally on April 24th, urging people to join in telling Governor Newsom and the CPUC that the people of California are tired of paying for shareholder crimes. It lists the schedule: 11:00 AM - Pack the CPUC Meeting at 1516 9th St, 2:30 PM - March to the Capitol, and 3:00 PM - Rally and Press Conference at Capitol Mall. The flyer also includes a registration link: bit.ly/marchonsac.

A protest flyer with bold text that reads “NO MORE RATE HIKES NO MORE WILDFIRES NO MORE NEGLIGENCE NO MORE CORRUPTION.” The flyer lists demands including abolishing PG&E, establishing Golden State Energy, making CPUC positions elected, no more rate hikes, and holding shareholders accountable. It explains that private ownership and management of PG&E have caused wildfires, damages, deaths, and increased electricity rates. The flyer demands that the state legislature revoke PG&E’s business license and transition its assets to Golden State Energy, a not-for-profit utility for public benefit. It also calls for the CPUC to reject further rate increases and fine shareholders to cover necessary safety and maintenance repairs.

This April, people will come together in Sacramento for a statewide mobilization demanding an end to PG&E’s rampant greed, corruption, and negligence. We demand a people’s utility.

PG&E is a criminal enterprise. In the last 15 years, they have been found guilty of 91 felonies, have killed 140 Californians, have started thousands of fires, and have doubled our electricity rates, while their shareholders have raked in billions. There is no reason to allow this company to continue operating their business in California.

California has the power to revoke PG&E’s business license and establish a not-for-profit utility — a people’s utility — called Golden State Energy. The state legislature has the power to pass a bill and make this a reality… but 98% of lawmakers have taken money from for-profit utility companies, and they won’t fight for us, so it’s time we fight for ourselves!

We can only topple PG&E and reclaim our power by building an independent movement that can’t be ignored! Join us at the CPUC Meeting on Thursday April 24th at 11am, and in the streets outside the Capitol Mall at 2:30pm! Abolish PG&E! Establish a people’s utility now!
