Sierra Club July Meeting: Keep The Power On!
July 15 @ 6:30 pm
Join us July 15th for our July general meeting at the Mosaic Workshop to socialize with like-minded Austin neighbors and hear a talk about energy issues in Texas from Shane Johnson of the Sierra Club Lone Star Chapter.
Doors open at 6:30 for light snacks and conversation. Club updates and program starts at 7pm. We hope you’ll join us.
Many Sierrans and environmental allies are motivated to help stop or slow climate change. For the past several years, in order to help broaden the base of everyday Texans who are engaged in that critical climate justice work, the Sierra Club Lone Star Chapter has prioritized campaigns that address energy burden, energy poverty, and economic justice; all issues exacerbated by the rapidly warming climate.
Texans are struggling with skyrocketing energy bills, on top of rising cost of living, thanks largely to the data center boom and how Gov. Abbott and many state leaders allow energy companies to keep raising our bills to make more profit off of our backs. We are all tired of Texans having to choose between groceries, medicine, clothing for their kids, and a safe thermostat setting. But we need your help to make a difference.
To help regular Texans, we need enough everyday people coming together to have the influence to combat these powerful companies and the ultra-wealthy who own many (but not all ) Texas lawmakers. Join us on Wed, July 15th to learn what major decisions on energy issues are coming up at state agencies and the legislature, like whether the people or corporations pay for majorly expensive new transmission infrastructure, and what you can do about it.
