Campaign for Affordable Power (CAP)
Join TURN in advocating for affordability, accountability, and transparency in California!
Building a BIG TENT to Win Affordable Bills!
Utility rates have reached crisis levels, worsening homelessness and jeopardizing our clean energy future. We must lower costs, ensure fair electricity pricing, and advance reliable, equitable, and affordable energy. In January 2025, TURN launched CAP: Campaign for Affordable Power—a three-year initiative focused on grassroots advocacy, local power-building, and bold legislation.

What is a sponsored bill?
A sponsored bill is legislation introduced in the state legislature with the backing of an organization or group that helps shape its language, advocate for its passage, and rally public support.
Bills shape the laws that impact our daily lives—including the cost and accessibility of essential utilities. Without strong legislation, utility companies can raise rates unchecked, leaving communities vulnerable.
That is why TURN is sponsoring the bills above.
We are fighting for fair, affordable utilities and holding decision-makers accountable. By endorsing one of our bills, you are helping turn these policies into real protections for California families.
