Protect Our Power Coalition against HVPA
As you may be aware, state lawmakers are considering legislation that would allow the government to take over our local electric and gas utility. This proposal would shift billions of dollars in cost onto taxpayers and ratepayers while putting reliability, service, and future investment at risk.
Community voices matter — and legislators are actively listening as they shape their priorities for the upcoming session. One of the most effective ways to make your voice heard is by contacting your local elected officials and urging them to oppose the proposed government takeover.
To make this easy, our coalition has launched a simple letter-writing tool that identifies your representatives and sends a message on your behalf in less than two minutes. Please take a moment to speak up and share your concerns:
Take Action: Protect Our Power NY
We encourage you to also forward this message to neighbors, colleagues, and community groups who may be impacted. Together, we can ensure our elected leaders hear directly from the communities they represent.
