Our Work

​EFNO was founded in 2016 in response to a groundswell of community organizing against Entergy's application for an expensive, unnecessary and harmful gas power plant in New Orleans East.

Our Newest Campaign

Picture
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.
