Hey #Atlanta! Some info on the PSC Public Comment Session tomorrow and an opportunity to connect with other Georgians. Let's build some #community!

This info is kindly provided by @hiphopcaucus.bsky.social

#vote #GoodTrouble #ATL #Georgia
The Georgia Public Service Commission – or Georgia PSC – has voted several times to raise Georgia Power bills, impacting your ability to get by daily. With the PSC election on November 4th and early voting from October 14-31, we have the opportunity to vote based on how the PSC has represented us! We can't just speak out to the PSC—we must also mobilize to the ballots. Join us for the Power to the People Mass Mobilization at the Georgia PSC's Hearings on Georgia Power's costly mass energy expansion. DAY 1 (TOMORROW, October 21) - PSC Hearing & Rally:Public Comment: !! BRING PHOTO ID TO ENTER PSC BUILDING !! To sign up for public comment, we recommend that you are in the building by 8:30AM. Arriving later might mean not being able to give comment. Attendees can sign up to speak out during the Georgia PSC Hearing Public Comments for 3 minutes each. Photo Opportunity & Rally: There will be a photo opportunity outside at the end We can definitely gather for a group picture and somebody can go off and do the rally thing for a couple of minutes (about 5 minutes would be prudent—we've never had more than 30 people there in that kind of way) If the energy is too hype and we need to do something so it doesn't feel anticlimactic to volunteers or participants, we can walk to the State Capitol a block away Note: We can also walk to the Capitol if security at the PSC gets nervous. DAY 2 (Wednesday, October 22) - Public Comment & Block Party:Block Party Location: Park Ave Baptist Church, 486 Park Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30312 Entering on the side entrance (more accessible) Space: Courtyard and hall inside Join Us to Vote Early! Fulton County voters can vote at the Grant Park Rec Center and then join us for a block party! Block Party Features: Early voting access Free food trucks Fellowship DJ! Together, we can help fight to lower our Georgia Power bills and win affordable clean energy across Georgia!

On the eve of Ahmaud Arbery’s heavenly birthday:

Tyre Nichols should be alive.
Tyre Nichols deserved better.
Tyre Nichols deserved justice.

We must keep fighting to end police brutality and deaths in custody.

The Trump admin is terminating a settlement aimed at improving wastewater treatment services for Black Alabama communities harmed by raw sewage, calling the agreement an “illegal DEI and environmental justice policy”
Trump admin terminates ‘illegal DEI’ settlement over raw sewage in poor, majority-Black Alabama communities
The agreement, reached under the Biden Administration, required the state’s Department of Public Health to improve sanitation efforts in Alabama’s Black Belt.

Families have paid billions in overdraft fees to big banks. The CFPB made a rule to stop it, lowering the $35 fee to $5.

Current lawmakers are trying to reverse the effort. Contact your Senator now to stop it: hhc.fyi/overdraft-cap

"What is happening at the CFPB now is devastating for working people. It is a boondoggle for the billionaires calling the shot in this administration. And it is nothing more than sheer corruption." - Seth Frotman, Former CFPB General Counsel
