Hello, my name is (?.) I am a climate and environmental justice advocate who represent frontline communites on (?.) We’re concerned that as the Green Energy revolution moves forward frontline communites, like mine ,are bing left behind. The monopoly utilities argue that local Green energy makes them charge others more. That’s actually the point. Unless we promote programs like community solar working communities will never have access to clean & cheap energy. That’s why I’m supporting SB 1374 a bill that restores the right of renters, churches, schools, and nonprofit orgs. to make and consume their own solar energy. So please support SB 1374 & prove your commitment to equitable energy for all communities. Thank you.
