Please share this action with every colleague and client you know. We need to flood the assembly with thousands of phone calls. Phone calls work! So, just do it now. It takes all of 2-3 minutes.
Many thanks to all the businesses who participating in last week’s No on AB 1139 rally at the State Capitol.
Our goal was to shine a bright spotlight on this bill, educate the legislature about how controversial it is, and blow the whistle on this sneaky utility profit grab. It worked. We attracted four TV cameras and made the nightly news while raising awareness inside the Capitol, still under lockdown from Covid-19. Check out all the news clips here. The SF Chronicle also wrote a story on the bill, click here.
Solar Rights Alliance and other coalition allies also rallied on the north steps of the Capitol on Wednesday with speakers from environmental justice organizations, public schools, local elected officials, and renters pointing out how bad AB 1139 will be for consumers, schools, affordable housing, and local governments. Watch the recorded press conference here.
Mark Smith of member company Solar Forward, also put together this video on the May 19 event. Watch the video and then call your Assemblymember!
