Narrative:

Both myself and the other flight attendant were securing the back galley and I was making an announcement when we hit turbulence on the E-175. We both grabbed the assist handles and were trying to get to our seats when the aircraft rolled and my feet were thrown out from under me. If she had not pulled me down on top of her and hugged me; my face would have been smashed on the aft bulkhead wall. We had a passenger in the lavatory who started screaming and I yelled to her to close the lid; sit down; and hold on. I have bruises on the left side of my body. I am submitting this report because a report needs to be submitted. There are numerous reports online about the NTSB investigating incidents on this plane to flight attendants in the back galley who were injured during clear air turbulence. This needs to be addressed with the company; the ripple effect on this aircraft; initial approach cleanup should start before descending so that the flight attendants are in their seat at that point. I also experienced it on the next flight and we had to grab on to the jump seat on the back and strap in. The seatbelt sign was not on and captain said the turbulence came out of nowhere and he didn't think it would be that bad. This is a recurring theme with this plane.
