Protect our homes. Protect our families. Protect our future.
Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) facilities are being pushed into residential neighborhoods across the country — often without transparency, without safety assurances, and without regard for the people who live nearby.
We are No Batteries in Backyards, a grassroots movement uniting neighbors to stand up against these hazardous projects. Together, we are demanding safe, responsible energy solutions that don’t put our communities at risk.
Why This Matters
- Explosion and fire risks from lithium-ion batteries threaten homes and lives.
- Toxic chemicals released in failures can poison air, water, and soil.
- Lack of oversight means residents are left in the dark about real dangers.
We refuse to accept unsafe energy storage in our neighborhoods. Clean energy must also be safe energy.

Together, we can stop hazardous BESS siting in our backyards — and build safer alternatives for a sustainable future.
