“Our Money Should Fund Our Future, Not Destroy It”
From Here4 Climate Action:
| URGENT EARTH DAY RALLY on Tuesday, April 22nd:STOP PGW FROM FUNDING ANTI-CLIMATE LOBBYING! |
| Join us at the Earth Day Rally to Demand PGW Stop Funding Anti-Climate Gas Lobby Tuesday, April 22 | 9 AM | Northeast Corner of City Hall We learned on Monday, April 14th, from WHYY that the American Public Gas Association (APGA)—a gas lobby group bankrolled by our utility bills—asked the Trump administration to gut $700 million in federal funding for clean, affordable energy. This directly threatens Philadelphia’s efforts to cut energy costs, phase out polluting gas, and protect our health and climate. PGW, our city-owned utility, paid $58,000 to APGA in 2024—using our money to sabotage progress.PGW claims to care about affordability and sustainability. But funding a lobby that attacks federal clean energy investments is hypocrisy. We deserve better. WE DEMAND PGW & CEO SETH SHAPIRO: PUBLICLY REJECT APGA’s ANTI-CLIMATE LETTER and defend federal funding for affordable electrification. END RATEPAYER FUNDING FOR GAS LOBBYING—stop using our money to harm our future. COMMIT TO PHASING OUT GAS BY 2050 and prioritize clean, affordable energy for all. RSVP NOW TO JOIN US ON EARTH DAY TO HOLD PGW ACCOUNTABLE. OUR CITY-OWNED UTILITY MUST SERVE PEOPLE—NOT FOSSIL FUEL. Our money should fund our future—not destroy it.Spread the word. Bring signs. Be heard. Let’s fight for clean air, lower bills, and climate justice. Our future depends on it.In Solidarity,The HERE 4 Climate Justice Coalition |
