Sharing the Value of Public Power
During Public Power Week each year, we celebrate the many hometown advantages of living in a public power community. As our communities persevere through the effects of the pandemic facing our country, our celebrations may look different this year. While we may not be able to gather together as we normally do, that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate creatively.
Below you’ll find a suite of resources to help you and your community celebrate the value of public power. From graphics to social media messaging to press release templates, we hope you take advantage of these tools and help spread the word. And be sure to scroll down for some out-of-the-box ideas to help celebrate Public Power Week in 2020!
From all of us at ElectriCities, we wish you a happy and safe #PublicPowerWeek!
