Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE)
@acceaction.bsky.social
ACCE is a multi-racial, democratic, non-profit community organization that builds power to fight for economic, racial and social justice. #HousingIsAHumanRight

While we fight to keep our heads above water paying for rent, healthcare, groceries and gas, billionaires are floating off our backs. Tax them. Having your basic needs like housing, healthcare, and a living wage shouldn’t feel like swimming against the tide. #PeopleOverBillionaires #TaxTheRich

California rejected utilities' heat shutoff plan
Regulators said the state's biggest power companies didn't go far enough to protect customers during dangerous heat. Here's what changes now.
