Thousands of Minnesota families havenโt been able to work or leave home for two months due to ICE. Utility bills are stacking up big time.
Anyone can give to this fund to directly and immediately help with those expenses. Xcel, CenterPoint, and other for-profit utilities should be pitching in too.

The federal occupation of our community has caused many of our neighbors to shelter at home. Utility bills are coming due. We can all agree: Access to electricity and heat are essential during Minnesotaโs cold winter.

Know Your Rights
Learn about your rights and obligations as an energy consumer.
There is no automatic prohibition on shutoffs in the winter. Customers need to proactively reach out to their utility to access Cold Weather Rule protections. Over 7k MN households were disconnected Oct-Dec 2025. More on the Cold Weather Rule here: cubminnesota.org/know-your-ri...

We help Minnesotans save money, avoid shutoff, and upgrade their home energy.
Even though shutoffs are temporarily paused, utility bills will still need to be paid. Contact CUB for support setting up a payment plan with your utility to avoid late fees.
