🏘️ What is a Resilience Hub and why does it matter for your community?
Resilience Hubs are trusted community spaces—such as recreation centers, churches, and libraries—where people can access resources, services, and support before, during, and after a crisis, like a power outage, wildfire, or heatwave. 💡🔥💧

If you reside in Alameda or San Joaquin County, please join us in urging Ava Community Energy to vote NO on an extremely dangerous California State Senate Bill!

Ava Community Energy was established to support the local clean energy economy.

SB 540 proposes that California join a larger Western regional energy organization, claiming that this move will save money for energy market participants, enhance grid reliability, and decrease the risk of power outages. However, these benefits hinge on factors beyond California's control. These promises are misleading and do not outweigh the risks associated with the Pathways Initiative. A regional marketplace would undermine our ability to effectively invest in local clean energy, place our power markets under federal oversight, and potentially raise costs for ratepayers.

Ava Community Energy should NOT support this bill and should instead advocate for legislation that fosters clean energy and creates healthy jobs.

Want to take action with us?
