On Monday, September 16, we’re calling on the people throughout the Atlanta area to join us at City Council once again to demand that our voices be heard. At any time, the mayor’s office can drop its appeal, or the Council can just pass a resolution to place it on the ballot themselves. We need to make clear that we won’t stand by as they subvert democracy right before our eyes – especially as election season approaches.

🚨 While Georgia Power was hiking up your bills, their parent company, Southern Company, was pocketing a whopping $1 BILLION in profits in just 3 months! 💸

The Public Service Commission, who should have our backs, keeps approving more and more increases to our electric bills. Enough is enough!

It’s time to take a stand and let the PSC know we’re fed up with these constant rate hikes!

Did you know that the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) regulates Georgia Power, our state's largest electric utility, but doesn't even use their services? 🤯 This means they make critical decisions about our electric bills without firsthand experience of the impact it has on us.

The PSC consistently approves rate hikes, raising our electric bills even more! 💸💡
It's time for us to take action and demand fairness and accountability.

Sign our petition today to urge the Georgia PSC to reconsider these hikes and advocate for the people they serve.
