IKCA Celebrates National Kidney Month
Wednesday, Mar 4, 2020 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] March is National Kidney Month, a time when people across the country come together to raise awareness about kidney disease. Join the Illinois Kidney Care Alliance (IKCA) this month as we get the word out.  An estimated 30 million Americans live with kidney disease, and one in three U.S. adults is at risk. Over 30,000 people in Illinois suffer from kidney disease, and when it progresses to kidney failure, patients are faced with two treatment options: life-sustaining dialysis three times per week or undergoing a kidney transplant. The Illinois Kidney Care Alliance consists of community groups, advocates, health professionals, and businesses from across Illinois striving to educate the public about the challenges that people with kidney disease experience every day. People who have the disease feel a mental, physical, and financial burden — and their families suffer, as well. IKCA is here to tell their story. For more information, follow us on Twitter, like us on Facebook, or visit our website.

Mike For Joe
Wednesday, Mar 4, 2020 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Three months ago, Mike entered the race for President to defeat Donald Trump. Today, Mike is leaving the race for the same reason: to defeat Donald Trump – because it is clear that staying in would make achieving that goal more difficult. Defeating Donald Trump starts with uniting behind the candidate with the best shot to do it. After yesterday’s vote, it is clear that candidate is Joe Biden, who is decent, honest and committed to the issues that are so important to this country. We made our campaign slogan a clear, simple promise: Mike will get it done. Now and through November, we will get it done together - not for Mike, but for our Country.

It also removes outdated, stigmatizing language and updates the current 6-12 standards for health and sexual health education courses by including information on healthy relationships and decision making; STIs including HIV; puberty, growth, and adolescent development; gender identity, gender expression; and sexual orientation; personal safety; and pregnancy and reproduction.

We Need An Equitable Clean Energy Economy
Wednesday, Mar 4, 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.
