It is more important than ever to stand with the millions of Americans saddled with mounting utility burdens as they now face essential utility shut-offs in these uncertain times. We recognize that there are many governors, mayors and utility commissions that have made the right choice regarding shut-offs, waiver of late payment fees and reconnections. However, we know that these moratoria are band-aids that do not address the inequities forcing socially marginalized communities to this breaking point in the first place. Moreover, not all moratoria are created equal; even the ones that have been implemented vary wildly in scope, duration, interconnection, and application. We must continue to demand robust and long-term protections.
