Watch the video and then take action to save the clean energy tax credits from being cut out of the Bill that shall not be named!
The House passed a budget reconciliation bill that would increase our energy bills & limit America to old, inefficient energy.
We can still prevent this budget from doing irreparable harm to our communities as the Senate deliberates.
Take action now:

Our communities must rely on each other to survive and thrive. Mutual aid is critical for us to resist, care for each other, and build power.

Energy that's more reliable, sustainable, and cheaper?! This seems like a no-brainer to me. Every community, whether serviced by an electric co-op, municipally owned utility, or investor-owned utility, should become part of a Virtual Power Plant.
⚡Virtual Power Plants create a more resilient, dependable, and affordable energy network for rural America.

Remember when bombing hospitals was a big deal? After destroying Gaza’s healthcare system, now Israel is attacking hospitals and killing medics in LEBANON where there’s no hostages to “rescue.”
This is a war crime, funded by US-tax dollars, and US officials couldn’t care less.

Check out this guide to not pay taxes (both legally and illegally).
We just updated our how-to guide, "How to not pay taxes."
In the midst of the US/Israeli genocide on Palestine that can't happen without US aid funded by our tax dollars, this guide feels all too relevant.
