Contact Legislators to Support Clean Energy Jobs Act

11/17/2020

Contact Legislators to Support the Illinois Clean Energy Jobs Act (CEJA)

Union of Concerned Scientists

Our climate and our communities can't afford to let up on passing clean energy legislation at the state level in Illinois.

We have one last big opportunity to show support for the Clean Energy Jobs Act (CEJA) and pass ambitious, equitable climate action in 2020.

The CEJA was introduced over 600 days ago and Illinois decision makers have yet to take meaningful action on comprehensive clean energy policy. Any further delay on CEJA keeps Illinoisans out of work longer, keeps the renewable energy industry at a standstill longer, keeps communities from accessing a clean, healthy, affordable clean energy future, and supports inequitable pollution and energy policies. Read more about CEJA here: https://ilcleanjobs.org/clean-energy-jobs-act/.

Contact Governor Pritzker and your state legislators about your support for this legislation. Click the link above and then select Get Involved/ Take Action. A simple form will send your message.

Green Drinks - After Action Report
Tuesday, October 6th at 5:00 pm

Environmental Forum

We have had a series of virtual Green Drinks since the COVID shutdown, meeting on Zoom the 1st Tuesday of each month from 5-7 pm. Since May we have enjoyed 6 excellent speakers, including: Joel Vanderbush/Niabi Zoo; Kurt Liske/Scott County Waste Commission; Pete Vogel/Food Rescue Partnership; Rachel Loomis/Living Lands and Waters; Deb Heitman/ Sustainability Director Davenport School District; and Sarah Gardner/Sustainability Coordinator Iowa City. We look forward to our two final speakers for 2020, with Cassie Druhl from Partners of Scott County Watershed in November, and Myles Brainard from the City of Rock Island in December. Join us!

The Environmental Voter: A Path to a Just and Stable Climate - After Action Report
Friday, October 2nd at 5:00 pm

Environmental Forum

On October 2nd over 40 participants attended our Happy Hour with Donald Addu from Citizens Climate Lobby. Local speakers discussed issues such as health complications and economic issues related to environmental factors. Don was an excellent speaker who interwove his personal stories with a history of environmental racism and injustice. This was recorded and is available upon request. Please contact me for a link if you are interested in seeing it.

Fourth Informed Voter Town Hall - Canceled

9/22/2020

0 Comments

 

This even has been canceled.

Fourth Informed Voters Town Hall via Zoom - Update
Thursday, October 8th from 6:00 to 7:00 pm

Environmental Forum

CANCELED - Informed Voter 4th Town Hall - Environmental Policy and the Climate Crisis has been cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control. 

As an organization, PACG has learned a lot about what we can improve on with events like the Informed Voter series. With the time crunch of an election upon us, the candidates were unable to attend this town hall. And early voting means that people are already voting in Illinois and Iowa.

We are disappointed to have not heard from these candidates on issues that are so important to us all. For the next election cycles, we hope to plan farther ahead. Thanks for your continued support.


The Environmental Forum is a cosponsor of the Fourth Informed Voter Virtual Town Hall. Candidates for the US House of Representatives for Illinois and Iowa have been invited to participate in this Zoom event. We will ask candidates to explain their views on climate change and give us an understanding as to what their environmental policies will entail if they are elected.

More information will be in next week's WEU.
