We Need An Equitable Clean Energy Economy
Wednesday, Mar 11, 2020 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Across Illinois, communities are struggling to stay above water. Meanwhile, clean energy jobs in our state are growing faster than the rest of our economy. The question now is, who will benefit? Hundreds of low-income and people of color are already in good-paying jobs because the state is funding training programs that make sure everyone shares in the new clean energy economy. The popularity of these programs and the demand for clean energy jobs continues to grow. This spring, Gov. Pritzker and the General Assembly can choose to double down on equity in our energy economy by passing transformative legislation that will create good jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities in communities of color and communities too often left behind. The Clean Energy Jobs Act is the only comprehensive, equitable energy bill that puts Illinois on a path to 100% renewable energy, lowers electricity costs, and reduces transportation pollution. We need to take bold action on climate and create economic opportunities in communities that need them the most. It’s time to pass CEJA now! Visit ilcleanjobs.org to learn more.
