Texans are .

The Derecho that struck Houston left eight dead and thousands upon thousands without power for days on end. Vulnerable communities were left without food and missed work days due to failed power grid. Houstonians deserve a reliable power grid when disaster strikes and that’s why we are taking power from ERCOT and giving it back to the people. Join us for a Neighborhood Resource Fair & Town Hall on Saturday, June 8, at Pleasant Hill Baptist to learn how you can become part of the movement!

El Derecho que azotó Houston dejó ocho mu***os y varios miles sin electricidad durante días. Las comunidades vulnerables se quedaron sin alimentos y perdieron días de trabajo debido a fallas en la red eléctrica. La comunidad de Houston merecen una red eléctrica confiable cuando ocurre un desastre y es por eso que estamos tomando el poder de ERCOT y devolviéndola a la gente. ¡Únase a nosotros para una feria de recursos vecinales y un ayuntamiento el sábado 8 de junio en Pleasant Hill Baptist para aprender cómo puede formar parte del Movimiento!
