.@DonHarmonIL, how did you sleep last night? You know who didn’t sleep well...solar businesses & workers, parents w/asthmatic children, Vistra’s shuttered coal communities, scientists, & the thousands of Illinoisans fighting for a just & equitable clean energy future. #twill

It’s not a climate bill if we exempt the 7th largest polluter in the country @DonHarmonIL @HarmonForSenate

HAPPY 129TH ANNIVERSARY @SIERRACLUB 😍 i love you and thank you for all the love and support i have received from this beautiful organization. 🌱

Illinois needs a plan for an orderly retirement of fossil fuel plants that gives workers years of notice, provides for their future, and advances clean economic development for these communities. That’s what CEJA does and why it can’t wait. #CEJACantWait

[CarolineWooten @CWoots89]

Once again, #CEJACantWait is trending #1! @GovPritzker - we're ready to get #ILOffGas ASAP. #twill

[Ready for 100 Chicago @RF100Chi]

As the CEO of Vistra admitted, coal is “on its way out.” More than half of IL coal plants have closed since 2009, cutting and running on workers and communities. CEJA will provide a just transition for these families. Add your name: https://t.co/unBF6sKUI5 #CEJACantWait

[Illinois Sierra Club @SierraClubIL]

“Natural” gas is a greenhouse gas 84x more potent than CO2. IL is #2 in the US for gas storage, which means lots of methane leaks. A first step to move beyond this infrastructure is to transition our power from gas to renewables. #ILOffGas #CEJACantWait https://t.co/L6JwZhJeTp

@SunriseMvmtChi This is extremely important ☺️🌱

[Sunrise Chicago @SunriseMvmtChi]

By 2030, CEJA will invest $2 billion in low income communities and communities of color. #CEJACantWait

[Ready for 100 Chicago @RF100Chi]

President Biden recently announced an ambitious climate agenda that includes drastically reducing greenhouse gas pollution. States like IL must lead the way by transitioning away from fossil fuels, while supporting environmental justice communities. #CEJACantWait #twill

[Ready for 100 Chicago @RF100Chi]

CEJA will transition Illinois’ power sector completely away from dirty fossil fuels by 2030, support workers and communities impacted by the decline of coal, and significantly expand clean energy generation and good-paying clean energy jobs in our state. That’s why #CEJACantWait!

[Illinois Sierra Club @SierraClubIL]

Be part of the fight to pass CEJA! https://t.co/tbiz8ewJL1

[Ready for 100 Chicago @RF100Chi]

IL is home to Prairie State Energy Campus, one of the largest coal plants in the country + the cause of 50 premature deaths/ year. We can move IL off fossil fuels if @GovPritzker @ChrisWelch_JD & @DonHarmonIL pass the Clean Energy Jobs Act #CEJACantWait https://t.co/Slz600i7Ym

[Ready for 100 Chicago @RF100Chi]

Remember when hundreds of people in IL rallied virtually last week for climate justice? @GovPritzker @ChrisWelch_JD @DonHarmonIL-we need to pass a bill that will move our power beyond fossil fuels. That's why #CEJACantWait

[Ready for 100 Chicago @RF100Chi]

We’re in a race against time to halt the worst impacts of climate change. The Clean Energy Jobs Act gets IL off fossil fuels as quickly as possible @GovPritzker @ChrisWelch_JD @DonHarmonIL -the time to act is now #CEJACantWait https://t.co/Ul7sqtItDJ

[Illinois Clean Jobs @ILCleanJobs]

Keanu from Park Forest knows the urgency of this moment. CEJA will create equitable jobs, lower bills, & hold utilities accountable - that's why Keanu is telling his legislators (@HastingsforIL & @StateRepDebbie) that #CEJACantWait! (Thank you Rep. Debbie for being a cosponsor!)

[Ready for 100 Chicago @RF100Chi]

Each year, pollution from the Waukegan coal plant contributes to 18 deaths & 118 asthma attacks. We need to stop sacrificing #EJcommunities and transition Illinois completely away from dirty fossil fuels by 2030. Tell your legislator #CEJACantWait: https://t.co/unBF6sKUI5

[Sierra Club @SierraClub]

Join @RepChuyGarcia, @RepSchakowsky , & @RepMarieNewman @SierraClubIL & IL GND coalition to discuss the THRIVE Agenda -- a bold economic stimulus package that will create 15M good jobs & tackle the climate crisis & racial injustice. 3/23 6pm: https://t.co/VLXi4rKvmf #TimeToThrive

This IS environmental racism: It will worsen health inequities, as Dr. Allison Arwady's @ChiPublicHealth data shows. Old General Iron site is in the best Air Quality and Health decile-New site is in the worst. @OBauti @NPRHealth @NPR #DenyThePermit @chicagosmayor @CHIhungerstrike
