On Cinco de Mayo we celebrate Mexican heritage and all the amazing ways Mexican Americans in CA have made our home state so great. This year, celebrate by powering down from 4-9pm. When we power down and use more clean energy, we can ensure that California will stay beautiful for generations to come!
