GEORGIANS!
During COVID, Georgia Power received $35 million in Federal funds to help people with utility bills. They spent less than 1% of those funds to help customers avoid disconnection; much of that funding went to executive bonuses. The GA PSC didn’t question that.
VOTE FOR ALICIA AND PETER!
GEORGIANS!
The current PSC has approved the customer rates that have helped achieve Georgia Power's recently reported $1.23 Billion 2025 third quarter profit. Yet Georgia Power has the highest disconnection rate in the U.S. for non-payment of power bills.
VOTE FOR ALICIA AND PETER!
NOV 4TH
Georgia Power raised our bills six times in two years—and the GOP commissioners who approved it want to keep their jobs. Peter Hubbard and Alicia Johnson are fighting back for cheaper, cleaner energy. Vote tomorrow, Georgia!

Vote Dr. Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard!!
It’s good news that the courts are forcing the Trump admin to release funds for SNAP. However, the fact that a court order was even needed is emblematic of the moral rot in DC. This admin insists on playing political games with peoples’ lives.

On the left is a stone mausoleum. Extending out from the stone are brightly colored multicolored and blue and white flags and yellow garlands. Below the flags and garland is a painted mural with birds escaping a cage and a green dragon with the words "Liberacion no detencion. Free them all!" and "Honoring lives lost in detention". Below the flags stands the altar, described in the other image.
A brightly colored altar with 4 purple tiers is surrounded on each side by many bright yellow garlands. On the tiers of the altar are pictures of the 13 people who have died in ICE detention, as well as flowers, food items, brightly colored flags, and candles.
On this Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos), Troublers gathered at Oakland Cemetary to support El Refugio in honoring the lives of those who died in ICE detention. On the altar were pictures and names of the 13 people who have died at Stewart Detention Center 💔

Let’s show them how wrong they are, let’s hit them where it hurts! These corporations don’t understand anything unless it hurts their bottom line.

"SNAP brings roughly $130 million in food purchasing power into our 29-county region every month... Without it, the need for emergency food is expected to surge."

The Trump Regime and Republican lawmakers are trying to force people of conscience to choose between leaving folks unfed now or taking away healthcare for 2026. It’s a false and unnecessary choice!
Offer help if you can. (ACFB is also a resource for folks who need help.)
Families across Georgia who rely on food stamps have been told they will NOT RECEIVE THEIR BENEFITS IN NOVEMBER due to the government shutdown. We're raising $5,000 to stand in the gap and provide families with food during this difficult time. The Grocery Spot Every dollar helps fill a fried. Every donation keeps a child fed. Every act of kindness matters.

Thanks for your comment! You may not be hearing the ads because you have Spotify premium, but those with the free Spotify accounts are getting them. Most of Spotify's money comes from Premium subscriptions, so we have a lot of power to pressure them to stop accepting money from ICE.

Two people in dark clothes with their backs to the camera stand on an overpass bridge with traffic going by underneath. They are holding tall poles with a sign in bright orange letters that says "Vote PSC Alicia & Peter" and displaying small American flags.
Despite the cold, Necessary Trouble members are out every day this week on overpasses letting folks in Atlanta know about this important election.

Spotify stock graph showing a decrease of $28 in one day (Friday 10/24), the day after Spotify’s boycott became a trending topic on Bluesky. This is a roughly 5% decrease in value.
Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.
These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.
This is a low turnout race so YOUR vote really matters!
