The Clean Power Coalition - of which Protestants for the Common Good is a member - is attempting to collect over 5,000 signatures from Chicago residents on a petition to Mayor Emmanuel in support of the Clean Power Ordinance.
The Ordinance would require that the two coal-fired power plants in Chicago (Fisk and Crawford) reduce their emissions of soot, particulate matter, and carbon dioxide. The ordinance is co-sponsored by 35 of 50 aldermen and alderwomen, and while the Mayor has expressed support for the effort, we need to keep the pressure up and remind him that the public cares about this issue.
Please download the signature form, bring it to your churches or community groups this week and over the weekend, and then mail in the sheets to:

77 W. Washington St.
Suite 1124
Chicago, IL 60602
or email Courtney Eccles and she will come pick them up.
