Working tirelessly to reduce #EnergyInsecurity and #EndShutoffs in #California!

[The @UtilityReform Network's Power@Home Campaign @EndShutoffs]

Yet another reason to #EndShutoffs! Universal utility service is a #basichumanright.

[Tiffani Ashley Bell @tiffani]

How a lot of kids end up in foster care is bad. Having the utilities get shut off (water!) is another reason this happens.

Mark Toney, ED, @UtilityReform : “We appreciate that Governor Newsom heard our message & is taking action, & ask legislators to commit to this critical budget support for CA families. #KeepFamiliesHoused #NoDarkDays #Power4All #UtilitySupport

Broadband@Home!

[Public Utility Law Project of New York @UtilityProject]

If their families could have had affordable Internet, that might have helped. Consumer advocates need to broadly publicize the FCC’s Emergency Broadband Benefit and push for permanent affordability. @NCLC4consumers @UtilityReform @nasucadc

[Cliff Rechtschaffen @CliffRecht]

Big step on affordability today. @californiapuc was 1st in nation to develop means to measure affordability of energy, water, internet & phone services not just individually, but together. Report issued examines affordability by region of CA: https://t.co/ZhTJujszdW

So important to share your story! Let them know that #Jusiceiscalling

[Worth Rises @WorthRises]

Communication with loved ones on the outside interrupts the toxicity of prisons & jails, which reproduces harm & creates despair. If you’re in California, call & testify to share your story! #PhoneJusticeNow #LetUsStayConnected #JusticeIsCalling

[Anti-Recidivism Coalition (ARC) @AntiRecidivism]

Incarcerated people have limited access to a phone, but it comes with a high price. Communication with loved ones can help someone get through their time in prison, but it shouldn't come with high costs just to talk to family. #LetUStayConnected #PhoneJusticeNow #JusticeIsCalling

[MediaJustice @mediajustice]

“Maintaining connection to family and loved ones is vital for the success and reentry of people incarcerated.”
Jorge of @UtilityReform knows that families shouldn’t have to choose between paying bills & life-saving connections. Here’s why he’s fighting for #PhoneJusticeNow

[The @UtilityReform Network's Power@Home Campaign @EndShutoffs]

Hey @Californiapuc #JusticeIsCalling

[TURN—The Utility Reform Network @UtilityReform]

[Constance Pierre @ensolidarity]

No more windfall profits for @SecurusTech @GTLCorporate at the expense of hard working families who want to stay connected to their loved ones #PhoneJusticeNow @UtilityReform @gsandovalphd @GuzmanAcevesPUC @SafeReturnProj1 @essie4justice @CURYJ

[Worth Rises @WorthRises]

Correctional facilities fail to protect families w/incarcerated loved ones from predatory practices. Call & testify! The @CaliforniaPUC must regulate @SecurusTech @GTLCorporate. #PhoneJusticeNow #LetUsStayConnected #JusticeIsCalling

[TURN—The Utility Reform Network @UtilityReform]

“We are figuring out which bills to pay, which nights we skip dinner, and which doctor’s visits to cancel so that we can afford to speak to our children, our parents…” @CaliforniaPUC @GuzmanAcevesPUC @cliffPUC @ShiromaCPUC #PhoneJusticeNow #LetUStayConnected #JusticeIsCalling

Now it’s the CPUC’s turn to put people before profits to lift this burden off desperate families across the state.

Can you take this short survey (https://t.co/uwoSpYBXm3) to share how COVID-19 has impacted your ability pay energy bills?

🧵for more context:

[NCLC @NCLC4consumers]

In #California, residents are protected from utility shutoff if they are financially unable to pay & willing to enter into a deferred payment agreement, under hospice care or on life-support, or have a life-threatening condition @Greenlining @UtilityReform https://t.co/exuYGuuoNJ
