The labor movement was born in the coal mines of IL & Appalachia. Hardworking rural people lost their lives in the mines to keep the lights on in US cities. We must stop mining & burning coal. We must empower and support coal communities to forge a new path. #JustTransition

"Even though the climate crisis demands that the US stop burning fossil fuels, the legacy of coal communities is one to celebrate," @schilukuri1 writes. "Coal was a huge part of these communities & a huge part of Southern Illinois. We're not erasing that," says @akpankau. 8/8



Today, @AmerenIllinois customers from across the state are urging the @ILCommerceComm to say NO to another rate hike! Instead of wasting millions of dollars on unnecessary fossil fuel infrastructure, we need to invest in more efficient, affordable #CleanHeat.

Today, @AmerenIllinois customers are speaking at a public meeting in Springfield to urge @ILCommerceComm to #StopTheRateHike! After record-breaking profits last year, the last thing Ameren needs is more $$ for their shareholders.

"It's unreasonable and unjust to allow @AmerenIllinois to line their shareholders' pockets while everyday Illinoisans struggle to pay their bills," says JD Dixon. Join us & JD in calling on the @ILCommerceComm to stand against this profit grab & #StopTheRateHike!


"This rate hike will extend the life of dirty, expensive gas infrastructure that's hurting our health & our planet," @SierraClubIL volunteer Jane Cogie testified today. The @ILCommerceComm must deny Ameren's $148 million rate hike & prioritize #CleanHeat.

.@AmerenIllinois wants a $148 million rate hike. Why should we pay even more money for expensive, outdated fossil fuels like so-called 'natural' gas? That's why Ameren customers are urging the @ILCommerceComm to #StopTheRateHike.

Alisha Granderson of @hoisierraclub said the rate increases come at a time when many families are already feeling a tighter financial crunch. “Especially post-pandemic and (with) all the inflation increases, it's really hard in our pockets,” said Granderson.
