Action Alert!
Lower Bills. Stop the Power Grab.
Georgia Power has proposed spending $16 billion to supply big tech with electricity — and YOUR bill may go up. We can’t let Georgia Power pass the buck. Legislators have the ability to stop runaway power bills by holding Georgia Power and big tech accountable. But they must pass legislation soon – before the cash has started flowing.

Update on SB34
This week, SB 34 received a hearing only in the the Senate Regulated Industries & Utilities Committee. The bill’s sponsor, Senator Chuck Hufstetler, asked to hold the vote for now so he could refine the bill language – he wants a good, strong bill. This progress is a direct result of your advocacy! Committee Chair Senator Cowsert noted the significant volume of messages he received from constituents—proof that your voices are being heard.
A huge thank you to everyone who took action and to the advocates who joined us for 100% Day to lobby for this bill in person. We expect another version of the bill and then another hearing in the next week or two. We will keep you updated!

Voting is Our Power
Voting is the single most important action we can take to make a difference in our state and our communities. By voting, we elect leaders who will make our dreams into reality. Conversely, by refusing to take part in elections, we surrender our power and continue the status quo that has left too many families and communities vulnerable.
We cannot afford to sit by and watch as our democracy is put under threat. Let’s make a promise to vote and push to a greener, cleaner, more equitable future that works for everyone, not just the privileged few.
We spoke out, Georgia’s Senators and Democratic Representatives listened. The Inflation Reduction Act has passed!
A historic $20 billion dollars for climate-smart agriculture and conservation programs were included in the historic Inflation Reduction Act last year. This is the largest investment into agriculture conservation and rural communities in decades and farmers across Georgia are depending on these resources.
But this job isn’t done – all eyes are on Congress as they write the 2023 Farm Bill: these critical dollars could be at risk. Now is the time to demand bold solutions, especially bold climate solutions in the next Farm Bill. Take the action below to send a quick and easy message to your members of Congress.
