Demand Energy Justice 
for Health

We believe every Wisconsinite, regardless of how much money they make, should have access to safe, affordable, and clean energy. That future is possible if we stand together.

Protecting the health of our loved ones is something we can all agree on. 

That's why we're demanding accountability from We Energies.

 

We Energies continues to prioritize profits over the health of our communities, keeping Wisconsinites reliant on fossil fuel sources that pollute the air we breathe, contaminate the water we rely on, and destabilize our climate. ​​​​

Rates are too high: Wisconsin customers' utility bills have more than doubled over the past 20 years (much faster than inflation).

We Energies is making bank: Our bills keep climbing while We Energies posts record profits. WI utilities get the 5th highest profit rates in the nation. Last year, We Energies' CEO made $10.4 million.

High prices harm health: Last year, 34% of households cut back on necessary expenses like food and medicine to pay a utility bill. Plus, rate increases are tied to investments in fossil fuel infrastructure that releases harmful pollutants.

Why are we demanding utility accountability?

Because utilities should earn profits from good service, not political influence.

​

​

Because utilities should protect health and the environment, not lobby against our future.​

​

​

And because WE the people should decide Wisconsin's climate future, not a monopoly.
