About a dozen people gathered at Yosemite Falls Cafe in Central Fresno on Monday night to discuss their outrage against utility giant PG&E.
“So, I feel like if something’s gonna start, if something’s gonna happen, it’s gonna come from the Central Valley,” said one attendee.
One of the organizers of ‘Stop PG&E Now,’ Vanush Ghatchrian said the mission of the group is to create change and to put an end to high utility bills.
“We’re gonna bring it down and make people more accountable. If we’re accountable our bills every month, they need to be accountable for their part as well,” said Ghatchrian.
The group started in Northern California earlier this year. And now they’re hoping to start a chapter in the Central Valley.
Yosemite Falls Cafe owner, Manny Perales jumped at the chance to help organizers.
“I’m a big supporter of stopping PG&E because I think what they’re doing to the people of California and the small business owners is just terrible,” said Perales.
Perales said his utility bill was more than double his rent in June.
