Light Is Your Right is back at The Broadside in New Orleans on August 20!
Come hang out with your neighbors, enjoy some good food, and be part of a conversation about energy justice and how we can make power bills more affordable for everyone in New Orleans. Your voice is needed in these conversations. We want to hear from you about what your energy concerns and priorities are so we can better advocate for policies that truly serve our community. |

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. |
