The last three years have been more impactful than we could have ever imagined while we built people power and solidarity across the nation, cultivating relationships that will last for generations to come. The Arm in Arm Project and the Power 4 Southern People NOT Southern Company campaign will be taking some time to reflect and celebrate our accomplishments. We will continue building relationships with partners across the South and the country to let Southern Company know they can be profitable AND equitable and demand they put ratepayers over shareholders. Remember, the most revolutionary thing you can do is the decisions and actions you make for yourself. See you all in the near future! More to come!

Time and time again, the dirty energy economy — the extraction and burning of fossil fuels and nuclear energy — sacrifices those most vulnerable. Profit-obsessed corporations and the politicians who do their bidding use, abuse, and discard our communities. Southern Company is at the root of a system that values shareholders and company CEOs' bottom lines instead of the communities they serve in the Southeast across Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. By weaponizing their influence and resources, they have been able to manipulate legislators to actively deny the climate crisis and dismantle our democracy and reproductive rights. They discard their toxic waste in our backyards and charge us prices we can’t afford. Company money is embedded across the legislature of each state and they are not held accountable. As discussions are taking place about how we transition the U.S. energy future to a system that is just and accessible for all, Southern Company’s practices and the politicians that shield them should be held up as predatory and detrimental to our communities, and future.
In June we launched our campaign against Southern Company because our people are suffering and we are TIRED! Now it’s time to take it to their front door and build power to TAKE OUR POWER BACK!
