WE NEED YOU: Tell California Lawmakers to Stop the Utility Bailout!
Utility companies are pushing legislators to consider proposals that would let utility companies off the hook for wildfires caused by their own equipment failures.
These proposals could shift billions of dollars in wildfire costs away from the at-fault utilities and onto homeowners, small businesses, wildfire survivors, schools, and local governments. When the at-fault party doesn't pay, the costs get passed down to all of us.
The principle should remain simple: the at-fault party pays for the damage it causes. Real accountability also drives prevention. Utilities with real financial exposure have stronger incentives to maintain equipment, manage vegetation, and harden infrastructure.
We need to protect everyday residents and families! Tell your lawmakers: Stop the utility bailout now!
Thank you for standing with us.
Dear [send:full_name],
As your constituent, I urge you to reject the utility bailout and oppose any proposal that limits utility wildfire liability.
When utility equipment causes a catastrophic wildfire, the utility responsible should pay for the damage it causes — not homeowners, taxpayers, and wildfire survivors.
As a California resident, I can't afford to absorb the cost of fires I didn't cause just so utilities can protect their profits. Shifting these costs onto hardworking Californians is unfair, and it weakens the incentive for utilities to maintain their equipment and help prevent future fires.
I ask you to stand with California families and communities by rejecting the utility bailout and holding the parties liable for their role. Please help protect homeowners, small businesses, and wildfire survivors across our state.
Sincerely,
[First Name] [Last Name]
[City] [State] [Zip]
