We put our trust in democracy, including the need, when necessary, to mobilize communities to take direct action in response to unjust policies or decisions.
Take Action Today.
We envision a California where the collective power and knowledge of our communities lead the discourse and policy decisions on issues related to energy, communication, environmental justice and stewardship. This vision is anchored in the belief that those most impacted by an issue are the best source for uplifting sustainable solutions.
Are You an Organization Interested in Partnering with Ratepayers United?
We work in partnership with community-based organizations across sectors to form coalitions that engage decision-makers on state legislation and regulatory policies impacting energy, phone, and broadband access.
These collaborations are essential to:
Amplifying community voices.
Informing strategic advocacy efforts.
Breaking down silos between organizations.
Driving equitable policy changes.
