Join @ncclimatejustice.bsky.social and West End Revitalization Association this Friday, October 10th, for screening of the powerful film, “And Water Brings Tomorrow!”

Framed by intensifying climate forces, this documentary follows the movements that have helped close prisons across the US.

Duke Energy has released its new carbon-reduction plan. Here's how 2025 NC legislation shaped it. The NC General Assembly overrode Gov. Josh Stein's veto to pass a bill removing an interim carbon reduction target.

Instead of focusing on solar and wind, Duke Energy is prioritizing meeting increasing demand from expected new data centers and manufacturers by turning to coal plants at times when energy demand is highest.

Duke Energy’s newest resource plan continues the corporation’s record of being one of the world’s worst climate polluters by expanding methane gas and nukes while suppressing solar.

Visit SueDukeEnergy.com to send an email to Gov. Stein and take action.

In the 2025 Carolinas Resource Plan, Duke Energy proposes to increase methane gas and experimental nuclear plants while extending its burning of coal for at least 15 years.

We call on Gov. Stein to denounce and rein in this out-of-control corporate monopoly!
