As temperatures drop and we all brace for the cold weather, thousands of Louisianans are at risk of having their power and heat shut off because they cannot afford to pay their bill.
No one should be left in the dark and cold. That’s why EFNO is hosting a press conference and action on Monday, December 8 at 10:30 AM on the steps of New Orleans City Hall. We’re calling on the New Orleans City Council to enact a temporary freeze on electric and gas disconnections for households unable to pay through March 1, 2026. |

Access to sources of heat, light, and water are vital necessities and have been considered sacred in cultures across the globe and throughout time.
Now, in many places, these critical resources are controlled by private, for-profit corporations that place the interest of their shareholders over their obligation to provide affordable, reliable service to their ratepayers. We are urging the New Orleans City Council to declare utility access a human right and to adopt policies – such as a prohibition on residential disconnections for inability to pay – that protect our communities. |
