PG&E sparks…but does it spark joy? It’s time for us to take RESPONSIBILITY. Greenaction joins PG&E no bailout coalition to democratize our power and raise our voices! Greenaction has a long history of organizing and campaigning against PG&E since we were founded in late 1997. We were a leader in the fight that closed the PG&E Hunters Point fossil fuel power plant, and have watchdogged their ongoing cleanup of the contaminated site there. We led the fight that defeated PG&E’s plans in 2000 to bring a fossil fuel power plant on a barge to operate in Bayview Hunters Point. We worked with Native Nations along the Colorado River in the Mojave Desert to defeat plans by the nuclear industry (including PG&E) to build a nuclear waste dump in Ward Valley.Watch this speech given by community organizer and policy advocate Sheridan Noelani Enomoto as she raises the critical importance of every individual taking responsibility for their actions. She passionately speaks, “air does not have boundaries. Air does not have walls. So why do we keep wanting to build them?” (Noelani Enomoto, 2019). It is our responsibility to hold entities such as PG&E accountable for their actions. As we rise, we voice our power and we will not be stopped. ‼️‼️‼️‼️
