Climate & Equitable Jobs Act

In 2021, our years of organizing in partnership with the Illinois Clean Jobs Coalition paid off when we finally passed the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA). This historic climate and energy legislation centers communities most impacted by the climate crisis and makes Illinois a national leader on climate action. CEJA will put Illinois on a path to 100% renewable energy, close all coal and natural gas plants in Illinois by 2045 (with many closing much sooner), hold utilities accountable, and create good green jobs equitably across the state.
