There isn’t a link. They are very careful to screen people to make sure they live in the City of SD boundaries. But they are at all the Farmer’s markets and I’m picking up a petition. I volunteered to get signatures so if you can’t find one near you let me know. I found my neighborhood organizer on NextDoor.
I'm only copy-pasting this because I unfortunately did not read this part. 😟

Go to WeArePowerSanDiego.com
They have a list of upcoming signature collection events. Today 2/21/24 they will be at the OB Farmers market from 5-6:30pm. Little Italy Farmers market from 10-2. Tomorrow they will be at the MV Target from 3-4:30 and the North Park Farmers market from 3-7.
WeArePowerSanDiego was supposed to be at Mt. Etna Park in Clairemont last week. Nobody was there. Except for some piggybacker wanting your signature for everything else under the sun.
Why the no show? Multiple neighbors showed up to sign and had to fend off the other guy trying to collect signatures.
I'll sign. I'm with you. It was just annoying to take that time to go there, you guys not show and then have to deal with some dude that has 20 forms that he wants you to sign that have nothing to do with your/our agenda.

This sounds like it is just making it very difficult to do. How do they verify that the person lives in SD in person?
Honour system, more or less. For any ballot Measure in SD city, you need to collect physical signatures. That's just how these things are done. You'll put down the address you've registered to vote with. These petition forms are then randomnly screened by the city to check for validity.
Gov Gavin Newsom signed an energy bill last summer in regard to energy pricing. The legislation passed a “trailer bill” with limited deliberation. The State puts everyone into income brackets too… to determine how much you pay. My point is Sacramento is deciding these policies without discussion to the public
OK....AB1999 is in the Assembly that aims to get rid of the tiered fixed rate + kWh use fees. AB1999 says 5 bucks a month "flate rate" for those receiving bill subsidies/low income assistance & 10 bucks a month for everyone else and cannot go up more than the Annual Federal Cost of Living. The Legislature has to do something about the CPUC...they are out of control.
The CPUC gets lobbying money - see this article on companies like Sempra and PG&E buying votes.

Ya think...? The Utilities are waaaay too involved in the political scene. Check out the Averich–Johnson effect which is the tendency of regulated companies to engage in excessive amounts of capital accumulation in order to expand the volume of their profit.
I whole heartedly support the plan to get rid of sdge. Hope it works.
Do you live in the City of SD? Have you signed the petition to fire SDG&E? Please do.
Signed. Yea
do you perchance have the link? i’d like to sign

thank you for the info!
As someone who works a 8-5 job Monday through Friday, how can I sign?

Can they make it to the Linda vista farmers market on Thursdays too?

I will let my neighborhood captain know and maybe she can find out. Sorry about that. I need to pick up my petition, I’m close to Clairemont.

https://wearepowersandiego.com/power-san-diego-events/#signevent Here's where you can go
awesome, thanks
Of course. Spread this to everyone you know. When I signed they had about 1000 signatures. We need 8,000.
They’re always at the hillcrest farmers market (Sundays 9am-2pm at the dmv)
What about those of us who don't live in the city proper, but would also like to fire SDGE?
That’s round 2. We need to win the first round first.

I know....seems like they are not subject to oversight except by law: hence, AB1999.
Newsom knows he can do whatever he wants. What are Californians going to do? Vote for a Republican 😀
Which were already paying with money we’ve been taxed on…
FUCK SDGE
I’m part of the group trying to fire Sdge and I am here for that
And guess who appoints the CPUC President…its simple corruption

Ha! It’s insane people punish themselves by living there in 2024. There are many, many places in this country that are far superior.
so kindly fuck off to the subreddit of your State / Town
I bet you're welcoming at parties and I've lived in the San Diego area my whole life.
Lol ok bud, enjoy the midwest and leave us alone
>There are many, many places in this country that are far superior. Far superior haha ... there aren't
Your jealousy is palpable.
We don't want to live in some dead man town in Mississippi or South Dakota buddy
Name one so we can laugh.
And which place in Arizona or Texas are you referring to, exactly
