Citizens for Public Power is a grassroots initiative dedicated to promoting community-owned, transparent, and accountable energy systems. We believe that power—both electrical and political—should remain in the hands of the people, not for-profit corporations.
Founded by a coalition of concerned residents, energy policy advocates, and environmental leaders, our mission is to educate the public, influence policy, and support efforts to transition to publicly owned utilities. We envision a future where affordable, sustainable, and equitable energy is a basic right—not a privilege controlled by monopolies.
We work to:
- Inform and engage citizens about the benefits of public power ownership
- Advocate for policies that prioritize people over profit
- Support local campaigns to transition from private utilities to community-owned systems
- Foster transparency, sustainability, and democratic control within the energy sector
Whether you’re a ratepayer tired of rising energy bills or a policymaker seeking a just energy transition, Citizens for Public Power is here to amplify your voice.
