2023/24 Legislative Cycle
For over 50 years, TURN has advocated at the CPUC and in the legislature for affordable, clean, safe, and reliable utility service and telecommunications networks for residents throughout the state, including rural and urban low-income communities, individuals who are disabled, immigrants, and communities of color. We have stood up to corporate greed, saving billions of dollars for customers and businesses.
We support policy development, organize communities, and galvanize allies to hold powerful energy and telephone companies accountable to California customers—not Wall Street investors.
Utility rates have reached critical levels, worsening our homeless crisis and threatening our transition to a cleaner, safer future. The time to act is now.
