Congrats to Senator @JoshBeckerSV who just got SB 905 off the Assembly floor!
On a typical day this week, for example, California’s grid operator anticipates California will use only 74% of available power. And that’s on an unusually hot summer day.
This bill is a strong step forward for lowering energy costs for all Californians and @DeployAction encourages Gov. Newsom to sign it into law. This legislation requires utilities to prove Californians are using what they already paid for before building more, and to bring on

Imagine your electricity bill nearly doubling in a decade. Californians don't have to imagine it — that's exactly what's happened. It's no surprise 83% of CA voters say lowering electricity bills should be a top priority for our leaders.

Xavier Becerra hears them loud and clear. One of his first proposals for tackling rising electricity costs is refreshingly simple: Power Hour. Thanks to California's abundant solar energy, Power Hour would give millions of working households up to two hours of completely

Think clean energy only helps the wealthy? New @UCSB_StratRes research by @leahstokes says otherwise: DSGS participation is highest in lower-income counties. 1 in 4 enrolled homes are in counties where solar adopters earn under $100K. Don't cut it. sfchronicle.com/opinion/open…

California voters have spoken: 86% want utilities to prove efficient grid use before building more and 83% say reducing bills should be a priority for lawmakers.

Honored to speak Mon at the @CAvsHate Civil Rights Summit on CA's pioneering role in fighting hate. Yrs ago as Assemblymember, I fought to secure the original funding that made this work possible. Proud to see how far we've come — and ready to keep going. #CAvsHate #CivilRights

New CA polling: 83% of voters want lower power bills. 86% want utilities to prove grid efficiency before new spending. 86% support tying exec pay to affordability. The will is there — now we need the legislation. deploy-action.org
Californians pay roughly double the national average on electricity — partly because utilities profit from building more, not using what we have. Grid utilization fixes that. @DeployAction is championing it in CA, just like we passed in VA.

For 50+ yrs, the Voting Rights Act stood as the floor — the bare minimum protection for minority voters and communities of color. The Supreme Court just gutted it.
This isn't a step back. It's walking backwards from democracy itself. We can't let it stand abcnews.com/Politics/supreme…

At a time when so many of our neighbors are feeling the impacts of hate and division, this summit offers a space rooted in story sharing, healing, and building solidarity to advance civil rights and confront hate in California.

California isn't losing the rich. It's losing the squeezed. Close the wealth gap — build housing, lower energy costs — or the exodus continues.

Thanks Governor @GavinNewsom for stopping by the Accelerating the Transition conference — and for decades of climate leadership and forging real solutions.

Th @TomSoto for moderating a sharp panel on fast-tracking wind, solar, geothermal, biomass & storage at #AcceleratingTheTransition.
Shout-out to Jeff Johnson, Mayte Sanchez & Alex Vovk for real talk on how projects get built — and what's blocking them. #CleanEnergy @DeployAction
