California Energy Affordability Promise

Tell your elected officials to sign the California Energy Affordability Promise

No more policies that raise our cost of living. Sign the petition to demand real affordability in California.

California families are struggling with rising energy costs, and government policies are making it worse. Nearly 30% of the price you pay at the pump comes from taxes and fees, and over 2.2 million Californians are behind on their utility bills—owing an average of $821.²

Yet, in the past decade, the California Public Utilities Commission has approved rate hikes nearly three times higher than inflation. Enough is enough. Tell your elected officials to commit to the California Energy Affordability Promise—no more policies that drive up our cost of living.

Dear [Lawmakers Name],

Please stand with Californians by opposing policies that would increase the cost of living in our state.

Signing the California Energy Affordability Promise will protect me and the hardworking families of California from additional government-imposed costs during a time when so many of us are struggling to make ends meet.

Right now, nearly 30% of the per-gallon price of gasoline is due to taxes and fees, according to the California Energy Commission.¹ I urge you to oppose any policy that would increase that percentage.

Today, over 2.2 million Californians are an average of $821 behind on their utility bills.² In the last ten years, the California Public Utilities Commission has approved rate increases nearly three times higher than inflation.³

Please oppose policies that would increase this burden on families.

California residents are already facing soaring energy costs. Let’s work together to protect affordability and put the needs of our communities first.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
