In 2019, protestors stood outside of the Phoenix Art Museum, holding pictures of Stephanie Pullman.
Protestors gathered in 2019 after a power company in Phoenix shut off electricity to a 72-year-old woman, Stephanie Pullman, when the temperature reached 107 degrees. She died — and advocates say her memory is behind efforts even still today to keep people safe when it's super-hot.
  • Stephanie Pullman, 72, died after her power was shut off over a $51 late bill. It was 107 degrees.
  • Pullman's death in 2018 led to changes in how power companies deal with overdue bills in the summer.
  • A recent heatwave in Arizona has the governor asking power companies to put policies in writing.

Stephanie Pullman died on a sweltering Arizona day after her electricity was cut off because of a $51 debt.
