IT’S OFFICIAL! Governor JB Pritzker just signed the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA) into law! This is the most equitable climate legislation in the country, thank you to everyone who spent more than three years fighting for it! #FossilFreeIL #twill
CEJA'S DONE WAITING: Governor JB Pritzker just signed the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act into law! #FossilFreeIL
This is insane! Governor JB Pritzker & Illinois EPA need to stop this new gas plant in its tracks. The ink isn't even dry on CEJA & you just went to #COP26Glasgow ... #GoFossilFree #ActOnClimate 😀🌎
As the fossil fuel industry pivots away from coal, they are now attempting to stifle clean energy progress by building expensive new dirty gas plants. Texas-based EmberClear wants to build a gas plant next to a school in Pawnee. Tell the Illinois EPA — let's turn, not burn! 🌬️
Six months ago today, Governor JB Pritzker signed the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act into law! CEJA is a historic law that won’t be implemented overnight, but our coalition is working tirelessly to ensure CEJA's benefits reach every community. Here’s what we’ve been up to: 🧵 #CEJAworks
One time Governor JB Pritzker told me he liked the nice things I said about #CEJA on an MREA podcast and it was my professional high point until Rashida Tlaib retweeted me last night. Also ft. Kady McFadden and Will Kenworthy.
When Governor JB Pritzker signed CEJA into law 6 months ago today, IL became a national leader in equitable climate action. Fortunate to have witnessed that historic moment & gracias to all of the community leaders, legislators, & orgs that spent YEARS making it our reality! #CEJAworks
🚨 ACTION NEEDED: Today the IL Senate Democrats Energy Committee Chair denied Illinois Clean Jobs the opportunity to testify against SB1104, which undermines the Climate & Equitable Jobs Act and spreads misinformation about renewable energy. Take action to defend CEJA: sc.org/CEJAattack
