THREAD: Are you (or someone you know) in danger of having your utilities cut off during the #COVID19 pandemic? Tag @sierraclub to share your story (or DM us!) and we will amplify your voice, follow up with your local utility and connect you with resources.
Hundreds of thousands or potentially millions of US residents are without water and/or power during this time of crisis. How are they supposed to wash their hands, to keep their families (and all the rest of us) safe? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/it-s-just-despair-many-americans-face-coronavirus-no-water-n1169351
Before you worry, check this list of utilities that have promised not to shut off anyone during the pandemic to see if your utility is listed. Most utilities in progressive states have been ordered to #StopShutOffs. https://www.energyandpolicy.org/utilities-disconnect-coronavirus/
And let us know if your utilities were ALREADY cut off before the pandemic began - we want to help you get them turned back on, if we can. You deserve to be able to wash your hands and communicate with loved ones during this time of crisis.
In your post, try to share:
-The name of your local utility for power and for water
-Where you live
-Whether your utilities are already shut off or if they will be shut off in future
-Tag us!
