Flyer asking “Are you struggling to pay your basic utilities every month?” followed by “West Virginians can’t budget our way out of exploitation.” Includes three black-and-white photos of worn homes and communities. Text explains that in the last two years, over 90 rate increase requests for electricity, gas, water, and sewer were submitted to the Public Service Commission, and that 1,000 testimonies were previously ignored. It calls for 10,000 West Virginians to share how rate increases impact their households, with the message “Be one in ten thousand. If they won’t hear us, we turn the volume up.” Includes a QR code labeled “Quick Survey” for the WV Utility Impact Project and a note offering assistance for people with literacy or learning barriers.
Hey y'all, help WV Utility Impact Project get to 10,000 testimonies about these rate increases to take to the Public Service Commission. West Virginians for Energy Freedom took 1k testimonies to the PSC and they said we were bots. #WVUIP #westvirginia #utilityimpact
