IT’S TIME FOR POWER 4 SOUTHERN PEOPLE NOT SOUTHERN COMPANY

Time and time again, the dirty energy economy — the extraction and burning of fossil fuels and nuclear energy — sacrifices those most vulnerable. Profit-obsessed corporations and the politicians who do their bidding use, abuse, and discard our communities. Southern Company is at the root of a system that values shareholders and company CEOs' bottom lines instead of the communities they serve in the Southeast across Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. By weaponizing their influence and resources, they have been able to manipulate legislators to actively deny the climate crisis and dismantle our democracy and reproductive rights. They discard their toxic waste in our backyards and charge us prices we can’t afford. Company money is embedded across each state's legislature, and they are not held accountable. As discussions are taking place about how we transition the U.S. energy future to a system that is just and accessible for all, Southern Company’s practices and the politicians that shield them should be held up as predatory and detrimental to our communities and future.


In June 2022, we launched our campaign against Southern Company because our people are suffering, and we are TIRED! Now it’s time to take it to their front door and build power to TAKE OUR POWER BACK!

IT’S TIME FOR PEOPLE POWER!

 

Why Southern Company?

Southern Company and their affiliates (Georgia Power, Alabama Power, and Mississippi Power) have been really bad actors in the South for a long time. They have spent money on legislation and legislators that support anti-abortion, anti-voting, anti-climate, anti-democracy. They pollute our groundwater and our air and destroy our communities.
