In the News: An Op Ed by Our Executive Director
It’s not enough to conceptualize the thought of having to choose between groceries and paying a utility bill, but we must hold our local government to the fire to fix it. Being able to voice our concerns sometimes feels like yelling into a void, but together we are louder and will not be ignored. Our Executive Director’s passionate opinion editorial was published in the Belleville News Democrat on January 10. He discusses the promise of a cleaner Illinois as a result of Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability (CRGA) Act.
“Our successful lobbying efforts led CEJA to institute nation-leading equity standards, ensuring jobs and clean energy projects benefit people from disadvantaged backgrounds – whether based on income level, prior incarceration, environmental issues in a community, racial disparities, or other factors that have historically excluded certain people from the clean energy economy.”
