But to take this fight on, we need to build our power, and we can do that when leaders like you organize with us. Join us! The majority of the people who would support our effort to take over Central Hudson haven't even heard about the effort yet! Winning this fight depends on how many disgruntled utility bill payers we're able to reach and have conversations with. Join us to phone bank the city of Beacon to turn people out to our town hall!
