We Need #PowerToLive
SURVIVAL
#PowerToLive is a coalition of groups and individuals in the SF Bay Area who joined together in 2019 in response to life-threatening power shutoffs by PG&E. Most of us are BIPOC, disabled, or fat. Many of us require electricity to survive.
SOLIDARITY
We built an all-volunteer network of mutual aid — community members saving our own lives where PG&E, state and local governments were failing to do so. We worked to make sure those most vulnerable in a disaster were not forgotten.
ACTION
JOIN US on December 16th, 2019, at 12pm, when a coalition of frontline groups will be gathering at PG&E headquarters, 77 Beale Street, San Francisco, to demand power to live.

We demand:
1) That PG&E give back all shareholder profits until PG&E can safely provide life-saving power.
2) That PG&E invest in frontline communities’ basic power needs.
3) That Gov. Newsom and CPUC turn PG&E over to the people. Utility justice is Climate Justice.
We thank our supporters, including the 2000+ people who gave online, the Third Wave Fund, a fiscally sponsored project of the Proteus Fund and the The Fund for Trans Generations at Borealis Philanthropy.
