Join We Power DC at Sudhouse for our first event of the year: We Power DC 101! This is the perfect event for anyone who is interested in learning about our campaign, or just wants to know more about the injustices of Pepco, and learn about the public power alternative.
Did you know that almost 25% of Pepco customers in DC are in utility debt? Or that Pepco cheated residents out of payments for community solar, and had to pay a settlement of $57 million for polluting the Anacostia River? We’re sick of this profit-driven utility screwing over the people of DC, and that’s why we’re fighting to put control of our energy utility where it belongs: in the hands of the people of DC.
We Power organizers will provide a brief presentation on the current state of energy distribution in DC, the grave ills that Pepco and the investor owned utility model have wrought on working class people, and We Power DC’s campaign for municipalization. Following the presentation, we’ll be hanging out for drinks and a chat.
Our campaign has a very exciting year ahead: we’ll be wheat pasting, publishing a white paper, hosting political education events, and most exciting of all, canvassing for public power. There’s never been a better time to get involved!
