SIGN OUR PETITION (link in bio!): Reject Duke's Rate Hike Request! Duke Energy reported $5 billion in profits yesterday. They are currently pushing to raise energy bills in NC by 18%.

Duke Energy and Amazon are attempting to sidestep clean air standards for a massive new data center in Richmond Co, North Carolina that would include over 600 polluting diesel generators. If this project is approved, it could make it easier for future large-scale data centers to sidestep important environmental protections. Sign our petition urging the NC Division of Air Quality (DAQ) to reject this proposal! Link in bio.

We recommend voting AGAINST all three constitutional amendments on your North Carolina ballot. Learn why these three amendments are bad for North Carolina by clicking the link in our bio.

The Environmental Management Commission (EMC) proposed weak rules that won't protect our water from PFAS and 1,4-dioxane, but North Carolinians SHOWED UP to demand stronger protections. The EMC should listen to the people of NC and withdraw their proposal. We deserve safe drinking water, healthy rivers, and real accountability for polluters.
