Special Lunch, Learn, & Take Action Session: Holding Utilities and Polluters Accountable

This legislative session is heating up, and now is the critical time for you to let policymakers know that fairness, climate justice, and strong communities are a top priority for Mainers. In this Lunch & Learn, Nick Janzen and Lucy Hochschartner will give you a mid-session update on two major bills supported by MCV: the Energy Fairness Act and the Make Polluters Pay Act. Together, these policies would protect customers from high bills and disconnections, help bring more clean, low-cost energy onto the grid, and make the biggest fossil fuel companies pay for the climate damage they’ve caused in Maine. The race to pass these bills is coming down to the wire, so we hope you’ll join us to learn more about the policies, how they intersect with national movements, and—most importantly—how you can help push them over the finish line.
