We're just getting started!

Huge thanks to all of our incredible activists who spoke up in support of affordability 💛

For months, we’ve been pushing our region to back these reforms.

Thanks to the momentum we built — with 3 SoCal cities and San Diego County on board — Climate Action Campaign was invited to today’s signing ceremony 🙌

We're excited for state leaders to finish the job: asmtasha.bsky.social, asmchrisward.bsky.social, asmlashae.bsky.social, davidalvarezca.bsky.social, asmdarshana.bsky.social, senakilahweber.bsky.social

Huge thank you to the San Diego City Council for supporting this package of state bills and working to increase affordability, and to all of our incredible community partners who continue to show up for San Diegans 💚

Mikey Knab: "This is not just unfair or unjust, it’s unsustainable.

I want to thank City Council for supporting this package. This is good for business. It’s good for the planet. And it’s good for the future of San Diego."

"Investor-owned utilities like SDG&E...funnel these profits into bloated executive salaries, shareholder dividends, and stock buybacks, rather than investing back into communities they serve." - Mikey Knab with Business for Good

Natasha Salgado with City Heights CDC: "When families have to choose between rent and keeping the lights on, eviction becomes an all-too-real outcome.

Nearly 1 in 4 San Diegans are behind on their utility bills, therefore this is a regional emergency."

"We are here today because families across San Diego are being absolutely crushed by a cost-of-living crisis.
Sky-high energy bills are pushing far too many to the brink." - Natasha Salgado with City Heights CDC

"We must stand with working people, not the utility executives who are getting rich while other folks suffer. We must demand a future where affordable energy is a right, not just a luxury." - @seanelorivera.bsky.social

@seanelorivera.bsky.social: "For years, we’ve heard about families in City Heights, Stockton, Mount Hope, and other parts of the city who are making impossible choices between keeping the lights on and putting food on the table.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about dignity and economic survival."

"Here is why this is so important: San Diegans and Californians are being ripped off," said
@seanelorivera.bsky.social. "We pay the highest electricity rates in the country, all while Sempra and SDG&E rake in billions in profits and thousands of our neighbors fall further behind on their bills."

Council President @joelacavad1.bsky.social: "San Diego cannot and must not be silent in Sacramento. And with this resolution, in part, the council is making our voices heard."

"For years, we’ve been hit with higher and higher prices. Despite sourcing less expensive energy from solar and wind and using more efficient appliances, the bills keep getting higher and higher." - @joelacavad1.bsky.social

It's moving forward! 🎉

The Council approved @joelacavad1.bsky.social's resolution to support the package of state laws tackling utility affordability and accountability!

This vote sends a powerful message to Sacramento and helps push these bills over the line ✊
