Information
Duke Energy wants to raise our bills… to power big tech data centers. The NC Utilities Commission is holding a hearing in Durham to decide if they should let them.
The real energy emergency: North Carolinians having to choose between paying the light bill and paying for food, medicine, or rent!
One reason your bills are so high?: NC electric bills are subsidizing power for big tech companies’ data centers.
What makes it even worse: Our money, water, & land are being consumed for for AI tools we don’t use, but are used for:
- Surveillance
- Wars
- Deporting our neighbors
Hear from incredible speakers including: Durham City Councilman Nate Baker & Nadeen Bir District 2 Durham School Board Member & co-founder of Mothers for Ceasefire.
Then, rally around the electrifying queen herself, Stormie Daie! Can she teach (Pay My) Bills Gates & Jeff Bozos a lesson? Then speak out at the hearing!
5:30pm- Rally & Drag Show
7pm- Hearing begins!
