Hello Fellow Climate Activist,

We’ve been scorched by heat wave after heat wave this summer. As temperatures soar to dangerous highs with unaffordable energy bills, millions of vulnerable families are struggling to keep the power on while utility companies profit off the climate crisis1

That’s not right. So this summer, we’re taking action alongside national and international partners to make it clear: We’ve had enough of greedy for-profit utilities. Will you join us?

RSVP for our Week of Action today.

WHAT: Action/Press Conference to demand Clean, Safe and Affordable Energy

WHERE: Aon Center, Peoples Gas Headquarters

WHEN: August 14th at 10:30 AM

Across the United States, for-profit utilities are making decisions based on grabbing power and profits, looking to maximize their earnings instead of speeding the shift to safe, affordable, reliable and clean energy.

In 2020, more than 1 in 4 U.S. households reported difficulty paying their energy bills or kept their homes at an unsafe temperature because of energy cost concerns.2 Meanwhile, shareholders make bigger profits than ever.

That’s why we’re building pressure on our utilities Peoples Gas and ComEd, to fight

• High Utility Rates(Peoples Gas $300 million rate hike approved in 2023, ComEds $1.1 Billion proposed rate hike)
  

• Cost overruns for poorly managed infrastructure projects(Peoples Gas Pipeline replacement project).

• For Lobbying reform(SB2885, HB5061) and corruption.

• Utilities blocking the transition to clean energy.

  We need to fight for Clean, Safe and Affordable Energy for Everyone in our community.

  Join us!  RSVP Here!
