Hello EEC friends, community members, and environmental stewards. Below in this message you will find the February 10th agenda with associated materials, community connections, save the dates, and in case you missed it. 

On Wednesday, we will be discussing and strategizing upcoming actions and projects as well as taking space to build out conversations and actions following our waste town hall.

Join us to start the brainstorm on: green space, the lakefront, outreach, and Earth Day. Plus, continued town hall discussion: What follow-ups should we take? How do we continue the conversation with the presenters, innovators, and attendees? 

We look forward to seeing you soon!

READY FOR 100 #POWERUP

In fall 2020, the RF100 Chicago team hosted our #PowerUp series, four community webinars to learn what issues matter most to Chicagoans for a just transition to 100% clean energy. Each session focused on a single topic: Better Health, Jobs, Saving Money, and Electric Transportation.

At each session, raised the important fact that the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our communities. With this in mind, we spent time to explore questions, suggestions and ideas with one another about how we pursue a clean energy future using principles and themes of social and economic justice.

We’re happy to share this first summary from our #PowerUp series and we look forward to updating it as well!
