Energy Justice & Heat Island Blockwalking w/ Southwest Workers Union in San Antonio, Texas

Southwest Workers Union is canvassing neighborhoods on the south, east, and west sides of San Antonio that are among the hottest and most energy burdened in the city. In an old-fashioned door-knocking campaign, youth organizers are going block by block talking to neighbors in the heat not only about extreme heat and inequities in utility rate structure but also SB4 and migrant justice. (Survey time: Did you know the 5,000 biggest residential energy hogs have a special rate class ensuring they pay way less per kilowatt hour than the rest of us?) We’re honored SWU youth are using Deceleration’s Extreme Heat Survival Guide door hangers to facilitate many of their conversations.
